I'd be surprised if any appreciable number of websites could be considered "closed source". HTML and JS are quite hard to close off, being interpreted. WASM is a binary format, I guess, but that's still just a tiny tiny fraction of sites. Server-side stuff could be closed, but for most money-making sites the secret sauce is what's in the database rather than the code that shows it to you.
