It’s how the web worked before minifiers, so kinda but not really.
You just have comments and original variable/function names.
I’m sure someone will argue this helps scrapers or hackers, but really it’s not that big of a deal.
It help users that make websites styles!
Eg. I have a discord style for fixing their bullshit
Anyone capable of doing damage already knows how to format and read minified code anyway. I do it in prod all the time when I want to test something with an override, which causes the source map to become invalid.
