I just found out that Konami somehow lost the source code to the PS2 version of Silent Hill so they had to recreate it. How do they lose it and why can’t they get it from a random game disc? Isn’t that how modders, emulators, and speedrunners see the code?

The issue is that random disc could have been edited. So there is no way to verify the integrity of the files.
If there is only one backup and say access is lost there goes the original copy to check any random disc against.
The software I support our dev team have a master sheet with all the changes and they have backup copies of the source code in multiple locations.
