I'm late to respond, but the obfuscation of code is almost certainly automated.
Apple doesn't really obfuscate their code outside of their DRM stuff–usually they just remove all the symbols and do a ⌘F for certain terms in their open source releases and strip those out. It really seems to be an manual process, since sometimes they miss things…
