I found a more detailed explanation of it: https://github.com/julepka/owasp-mstg/blob/master/Document/0...
> Generally, you should provide compiled code with as little explanation as possible. Some metadata, such as debugging information, line numbers, and descriptive function or method names, make the binary or bytecode easier for the reverse engineer to understand, but these aren't needed in a release build and can therefore be safely omitted without impacting the app's functionality.
I'm not a big fan of the reasoning, as it's security through obscurity. Which is not the worst tradeoff, but these days it just makes public bug bounties (and other public auditing) end up being less of an interesting prospect for improving security.
