While I'm not a Google employee, could I point you to paragraph 10.5 of the Terms of Service? If Google were to provide a completely open version of the API, that Term would not be there. Presumably it's there for a reason. Now: it's perfectly true that you can break the Terms and de-obfuscate the code, and we don't actually know why that Term is there in the first place. But I'm willing to bet that Google do use some clever programming which they feel gives their product an advantage and which they want to protect as much as they can within the technology available.
