Because it’s JavaScript, we can verify this, and I’m sure that people will be scrutinising every revision of the code to check.

Have you ever seen obfuscated JS? I'm not saying it's impossible, but de-transpiling it into something for a human then analyzing it is not trivial work.

Don't bet on something not being terrible just because someone with the skill could maybe spend a lot of time doing the work.

Deobfuscators are fairly good IME. I haven't checked this code in particular, but I've never seen obfuscated JavaScript that was uninterpretable following deobfuscation

Congrats on being awesome at code analysis. Have at it for everyone, then.
