You always have access to the original non-compiled element. Anyone that could import the compiled version would also have access to the non-compiled version. Which means they can always look at all the gadgets inside to learn from, or to customise. The only time when it's a "black box" is the version that you specifically chose to import as compiled for efficiency--in which case you probably don't want to ever look at the innards because you know what it's doing and don't need to customise the functionality within that chip.

People who are looking for this level of optimisation are probably working on large projects, and so probably know what they're doing, and most likely will not be customising how an element works from within a scene but by editing that element, and then updating in the scene... which would still work as normal for compiled chips.

So I understand what you're saying, but for me I don't think this feature would restrict any of the cases where viewing the contents of a chip is helpful. You can do that as normal anyway.
