Do you have examples you can point to?
For example there are more than 100k modified weights on hugging face.

It's usually against the license to redistribute modified binaries. There are few pieces of software (I cannot think of any) that allow redistribution of modified binaries, but aren't open source.
As a result, in practice, the only example I can think of is cracks for pirated software.

Modding isn't equivalent to post-training. Modders write new code, replace assets, patch existing instructions etc. With model weights you can continue original training process – directly optimizing existing artifact to acquire new behavior. There's no equivalent general-purpose process for a compiled binaries.
