I understand and share your frustration about forcing account registration. We had no other way but to implement this as constantly we had sources trying to download our data by examining our code. By having access controls we were able to stop that. My team had recommended user data controls after reviewing Geoserver, mapbox requirements, if you know any other way please feel free to recommend.
You permit anyone to view the code running on your web server? Do you permit them to modify it too? Nevertheless, just deny code viewing permission on your web server and only serve output of executing that code. Quite simple. And no one can steal your code (unless you let them into the room containing the web server). -- The fact that there's a Highway to Hell but only a Stairway to Heaven says a lot about anticipated traffic volume.
