Paper LaTeX files often contain surprising details. When a paper lacks code, looking at latex source has become a part of my reproduction workflow. The comments often reveal non-trivial insights. Often, they reveal a simpler version of the methodology section (which for poor "novelty" purposes is purposely obscured via mathematical jargon).

Reading the LaTex equations also makes for easier (llm) translation into code rather than trying to read the pdf.
