Why is it so difficult to copy source code that is not “open source”?

888 views

It’s been in my mind if we are using the software/program or even hardware of a tech company, we can play around, install-unsinstall and more. Then how is it so difficult for someone to “unhide” the source code that the device uses? Technically the code is in the device somewhere hidden in it, so it’s there, but still, it’s almost impossible to obtain the source code. How do they achieve this so no one copies their code?

So if for example a company accidentally releases a game where a debugging menu is available, then if I decompile the program and then using it alongside the debugger, Could i be able to check exactly where in the code I need to focus? But here is my question, after I know where to look, what’s next? Like the program is still decompiled, i just know where to look.
