Obscurity in the sense that the bad guy doesn't have your code doesn't hurt, but I think the real win could be that they need to specifically target your system to find your vulnerabilities. That could be a lot of compute and time to dedicate to a single target. So that kind of obscurity changes the economics of it for them.
