I'm sure there's some number greater than zero of developers who are upset because they use minification as a means of obfuscation.
Reminds me of the tool that was provided in older versions of ColdFusion that would "encrypt" your code. It was a very weak algorithm, and didn't take long for someone to write a decrypter. Nevertheless some people didn't like this, because they were using this tool, thinking it was safe for selling their code without giving access to source. (In the late 90s/early 2000s before open source was the overwhelming default)
