If a middleman takes your code, compiles it, and then distributes it to the user, then that user has no access to the source code to the version installed on their system. So? The user can get the original code from me. They can't get what the "hostile" middle man added to the code, but that's OK, because I didn't write that -- they did. However, chances are good that the "hostile" middle man is providing a service that the user wants, and they don't consider him to be hostile at all. I'm quite happy that Apple takes BSD licensed code (some of which is my own) and produces an operating system that I find to be incredibly valuable in my day to day work. I'm happy to disclaim access to source code, and provide Apple with some money for this service.
