I expect that the overwhelming majority of the users don't want to see
the C source, but then, the vast majority of computer users use
proprietary software.
I think Emacs should (and does) really make a special effort to go out
of its way to encourage users to access the source code.
So I don't think the decision should be made on a question of "do users
need it", but whether we want to actively encourage users to do that
thing that they normally wouldn't even dream of doing.
