eli5 How exactly is the source code of an app/software being “locked”? What is protecting it from being seen?

Let me try a comparison.
The runnable application is like a PDF that you can print. The source code would be the Excel sheet from which the PDF is produced.
If you want to make serious changes to the PDF, you need the initial spreadsheet, and you cannot realistically infer it from the PDF.
