When the leak occured, the contents of the archive had to be assessed: what had leaked, had the AmigaOS4 source code repository been compromised?.

You misunderstand me. I am not talking about the reactive defense of the Amiga property, as you are. I am talking solely about a simple demonstrated lack of interest in proactively defending the property.
The archive I found on the day of the twitter "leak" was in an open web directory, with a modification date of 2013. It was trivially locatible via google, given it's filename.
I'm not the only one who noted this.
It should be very achievable to set up a google alert, or some similar thing to notify of the appearance of archives named similarly to 'amiga os source code 3.1.tar.bz2'. Or even to google it once in 3 years. It certainly got taken down fast after the twitter announcement.
