My employer quite deliberately publishes source maps alongside our javascript, so people who want to tinker and learn don't lose the ability to see what we're doing, but end users (our press pack says we serve pages to around 1% of people in any given month) don't have to pay the cost of downloading unminified JS for every page load. I suspect that if we ever start using WASM, we'll do the same thing.

Just because you _can_ use the compliation step to (go some way to) hide your source doesn't mean you _have_ to. And relying on your secret sauce being private while you publish it in obfuscated form for all the world to decypher feels like a losing strategy.
