I agree. Source code is not needed at all, especially for a game like GTA V with a very active modding community. People have added new textures, ray tracing and even made new games with new campaigns without any source code. Releasing the source even officially won't change or improve anything.
This makes it easier to intergrate with more extensive integration.
You have no idea how much easier it is to mod a game when you can look at the source code. GTA V has a thriving modding scene despite its source being unavailable for modders.
