To everyone saying that code is a liability and not an asset, and that it's worthless, how do you explain that there are online marketplaces making millions by selling "code" online, such as ThemeForest, CodeCanyon, Unity Asset Store, etc.

I guess it is harder to make a platform and just sell it exclusively to a client than making a platform and offering it as a product for many other developers. In this case though, he might just be able to sell a few hundred copies of his code for like $100, which is not a lot of money, asuming the platform is fully functional.
