Can confirm. I currently work as a malware analyst, and I frequently have to analyze (somewhat) obfuscated malware NSIS installers.
Older version of the 7-zip software (v. 9.38) can extract and decompile NSIS installers, but in the newer versions this feature is no longer available, because some people on the 7-zip forums complained that users could unpack their installers and see hidden S/Ns. It's a pity.
