> completely free, and there is no advertising or hidden gotchas

I don't understand why not release the source if the app is completely free, what are you trying to protect?

Putting on my CISO hat, if they release the source, someone else could then create an app, but this time maliciously with said exfiltration of information, and publish it on play with paid ad time.
they probably just wanna keep the option to monetize it in the future open
