One of the documents I create contains exactly one word in the
document body (\printinvoice} and a few lines of setup in the
preamble.

The real content is hidden in a csv and a quite large style file with
lots of expl3 code.

There are LaTeX-sources which are quite readable in themselves, but
there are also documents where the content is so hidden deeply behind
layers of macros, input files, post/preprocessing (e.g. of bib-file or
data-files)  that having the sources don't really help in
accessibility.
