Anthropic has been trying to win the developer marketshare, and has been quite successful with Claude Code. While I understand the argument that this acquisition is to protect their usage in CC or even just to acquire the team, I do hope that part of their goal is to use this to strengthen their brand. Being good stewards of open source projects is a huge part of how positively I view a company.

Maybe an easier first step would be to open source Claude Code...?

I think because their models are open (e.g. CC can send any instruction and it’ll use your max plan), they need to keep the code obfuscated to prevent people from sending everybody and their mother through that API.
Codex has the opposite issue. It has an open client, which is relatively pointless, because it will accept only one system prompt and one prompt only.
