no it doesn't, and I am very aware that if anything runs on someone's computer then it can get replicated. but it gets slightly harder, also to reverse-engineer it or find potential fallacies. as well as source maps on prod are just a waste of bandwidth
Dunno, this "harder" argument while valid sounds just like false security. That's why I don't see much weight in it.
As for bandwidth, source maps are not automatically pulled from server, so it also seems like a false issue to me.
