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

Source code is “compiled”, which turns it from a verbose human readable format to a compact machine readable format.
Reverse Engineering code is taking the machine readable format and turning it back into human readable code – but it is a non trivial task from what I understand.
