Every major company uses code obfuscation/minification/compilation on their javascript. It's not really clear what they mean though...

I think it's pretty clear that they mean their source code. This isn't about user security, it's about their intellectual property.

(To your parent, not you): Sometimes I'm sure people misunderstand on purpose just so they have something to be indignant about.

This isn't for their javascript, it's for their client which is Python code. Their previous obfuscator has been broken (by at least one nice hacker who told them).

obfuscation != minification != compilation

Compilation where the source and target language are the same = obfuscation and minification
