I do know that that code obviously then inst available, since that’s why the recent leaks are significant…but why is it significant? Obviously cheaters will use that to more easily make hacks, but why is that code not part of the game? How does that code not exist in the game files? Is it hidden in some way or is some of that engine code or what exactly is it?

It allows for piracy, easier and more complex hacks as well as mods. Exploit development also becomes easier.
Yes the code is already in the files. But you a human cannot read it easily. You’d have to reverse engineer it to get even close to understanding the code. A computer can easily read it.
But it’s important because most games run a anti cheat system that will monitor memory for invalid changes that say cheat engine can do. Many multiplayers have this system. Having a leaked source code allows for easy bypass of that system.
Not to mention many publisher don’t want to share code, say for instance you develop a very in-depth physics system. You want that to be what people associate your game with. If that leaks everyone else gets it. Think of Doom being the first FPS. Everyone instantly copied it.
