You don't seem entirely convinced :) But if you go to the webpage of you react app, you go to the source of your index.html that you can see in chrome dev tools -> Network tab. You could scroll down to the script tags <script src="/static/js/main.b5b80c7f.chunk.js"> open it and you'll see that you have access to all the minified javascript chunk. The browser needs to run this javascript so sadly it is accessible to the user. It is however minified so it would be harder to do this hack in my article, but it's possible anyways. (I show here an example on localhost but this would also work on production)

It's not like I was not convinced.. 😂
I was curious about it and searched for more regarding this and found exactly what you've mentioned in this thread.
Kudos to you... 🔥🔥
I would've not paid attention anytime soon to this detail if it wouldn't have been your article.
