This is a false statement. Compiled code can be easily disassembled or traced with a debugger.

What relevance is that to the fact that GPL requires published distribution of its original source? I can download it directly from the web without having to lift a finger with debug tools...

I should have said your original was based on a false premise, i.e. that compiled code is somehow more secure than open source. It's not.
