1. We're well past websites into web apps. You are not entitled to the source code of these apps, like Gmail/GSuite - that are client heavy web apps, with logic, state, custom-IPs & algorithms.

2. The underlying code of the web's infrastructure is available on a royalty-free basis, and shall remain as such!! There's immense benefit in maintaining this equal-opportunity status-quo.
