E.g. your script is exposed and anyone can just copy the script and use it without even going on dashboard. (Assuming if someone is having knowledge of basic js they can do it easily).

You would be surprised for what people actually are willing to pay. One of my biggest problems in the past: "Who would pay for this"? Oh boy, was I wrong. People buy all kinds of things, even things where I would never ever spend money on it. That's the coolest part of him actually: Just ship it fast, don't test, just ship it and if nothing works out, then he did "only" waste 3 days of his life. People validate their product for weeks just to find out no one wants it. He builts it in couple of days.
