I've asked that question. I use it as a way to offer an alternative demonstration of work to developers who are early in their careers. It's not about seeing the code as much as it is wanting to see that a person has taken software through the full lifecycle. I'd rather see an app in an App Store or a live site on the web, or even just talk about an in-house project that they've managed over a period of years.

That makes a lot of sense. Most of my github projects are from prior to my first job, which I was quite proud of at the time, but are somewhat less demonstrative of my skill level now over 10 years later.
