Between the fact you could mod it to hell already and the resources were already easy to decompile there wasn’t much left. There’s possibly some cheats for Online but everyone expects things to be crazy there, so there wasn’t as much value.

Didn't a random guy optimized a something reducing loading times?
I believe that happened before the source code leak. All of the game item parameters were stored in a 10mb JSON file and they were loaded by a single threaded parser, the random guy patched it.
Yes, someone fixed their broken json parsing: https://nee.lv/2021/02/28/How-I-cut-GTA-Online-loading-times-by-70/
But this was in 2021 and done without source code.
