But one can either browse the source on gitlab or savannah, or one can clone the git repository and get access to the source, even though you are not compiling the source. I recognize that this is challenging and difficult, but it is possible. I do it quite frequently now, since I don't have a development setup on my computer. I say this not to disagree with your main points, with which I completely agree. But for someone who wants to look at the cc code, I thought it would be nice to mention the possibilities.
