Newbie Android Doubt

So the android phones applications can be decompiled and source code is accessible through APK file. Then anyone will perform reverse engineering and use it to his advantage right?

Scenario 1: Let’s take the example of Yo*tuber he wants to start the channel, it not running successfully so he can reverse engineer the apk and get the algorithm to work in his favour ( I believe it is not possible because the main algorithm is saved/running in servers not in apk files , apk files are just a medium to view or create videos and upload to servers ) right??

Scenario 2: Let’s use example of dating apps or the famous app Tind . One can reverse engineer and do necessary changes ( here also main algorithm will not be in apk , but things like premium membership and paid benifits can be reaped and compiled as modified apk ) thats how the luckpatcher worked right and thats how the modded APKs are made? But why not save these details also along with algorithm so people can’t access it ??
