Just irrational Musk hate or is there any reason we want people to freely be able to share all code and open up for leaks involving everyone using a site or software?

Musk has nothing to do with it. There's this whole movement full of people that want to have the code for everything they run. It's called Open Source. Of course, there's the matter of consent, and someone's private code being shared is not what the movement is about, but yes, some people want people to able to freely share all code.

It might also shock you to find out that there are even groups out there that want everything for free! They can be found at places like the pirate bay, or libgen.
