Minification should be a step of making a production build. It does not affect source code and thus it does not affect readability.

You can't run C without building it, so you have to do some kind of compilation. I've certainly known people to argue for e.g. including debug symbols even in the build you ship to customers - the savings from stripping them aren't worth the added complexity and difficulty of debugging.
