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

The original english-like text is condensed and simplified to simple instructions a machine can read.
Human language structures, which support the easy readability of the logic inside the program gets lost in this process.
Therefore, the process can’t be reversed losslessly and you need the original code to have the same information available as the programmer does.
