For a web application, we lack a standard by which a user can get the source code, even if the application provider is willing and cooperative. You send in a CGI request; what is the source code that processes it?
Compare to a command line program on a Debian Linux system, with which one can straightforwardly get the source code to any application in the following standard way:
which
dpkg-query -S
apt-get source
