Magic Earth uses OpenStreetMap data and a powerful search engine to offer you the optimal routes for driving, biking, hiking, and public transportation. They don’t track you, nor do they profile you. They don’t trade in your personal data, and they don’t collect it (as stated in the Apple app privacy statement).
Interestingly it also has an AI function built in if you activate the camera to use it as a dashcam, with Driver Assistance warnings such as avoiding collisions, lane departure warnings, stop and go assist, etc.
It also has support for Apple CarPlay as well as Apple Watch. If there are any incorrect map issues you can fix those yourself using OpenStreetMap.

Few thoughts.
Security through obscurity, perhaps?
Publishing the source takes energy too and they just don’t bother?
Or they want to show how unique the app is and if it’s OSS, anyone can rebrand it and destroy the uniqueness.
