For 99% of companies, their code is worthless to anyone but them.

  For copying the product / service yes it is not worth much . However for people trying to compromise your system access to your code can be a valuable asset .The worth of that could be well beyond just enterprise value of the organization , it could people’s lives or bring down critical infrastructure. You don’t just have access to code you created and have complete control to. Organizations have vendors providing code(drivers , libraries…) with narrow licenses that prohibit sharing or leaking in anyway. So this type of leak can open you to a lot of liability.

  If that was true, hardly any company would be opposed to open sourcing their code base.
