i think most game decompilation projects are either openly illegal or operate on "provide your own binary" and build automatic tooling around it

Yes, because we have clear precedent that distributing Art (the assets) is illegal by current copyright law.

But do we have precedent (in any country) that distributing different source code that compiles to the exact same binary is illegal ?
