Or maybe they do, but they don't want to get drawn into a totally derailing side conversation about the future of humanity and global warming and it's just a tiny acknowledgement that hey, you can throw an obfuscated blob of minified JavaScript at it and it can take it apart with way less effort from a human, which gets you to the interesting part of the RE question faster than if you had to do it by hand. By all means, don't buy it. I'm not the one getting left behind, however.
