Ask HN: Do you protect your client-side JavaScript? Why or why not?

I'm exploring building a JavaScript obfuscator and trying to understand if there's real demand — from indie devs to enterprise.

The reason: every web app ships source code to the browser — always been analyzable, copyable, patchable. Now with AI able to explain minified code in seconds, I'm wondering if attitudes are shifting.

If you own any web apps or games, do you genuinely care about protecting client-side code? If not, why? If yes, what do you use — or why don't existing tools work for you?

(Context: I'm building www.afterpack.dev — but genuinely want to understand if this is a problem people actually have or if it's rather a very niche problem)
