I take the opposite POV. If someone's going to start messing around with otool and class-dump on my app, I know they're not going to be a paying customer. Why should I waste my time with obfuscation just to provide such people with a more educational challenge?
It's rather analogous to shoplifting. Stores don't put electronic tags on goods to stop the professional thieves (because professionals have the same removal tools that the counter staff have). They put them on there to:
i. suggest the item is of value and worth paying for; and
ii. to stop the person who 99/100 times would pay, but might just have an aberration if you make it painfully easy for them to walk out the door without doing so.
Nevertheless, if they really don't want to pay for it, they're not going to pay for it.
