It's an effective way of obfuscating malware, for one thing.

Surely not. It would be easy to spot.

Obfuscation doesn't necessarily need to be hard to spot, just hard to understand. Like, could you spot this in a chunk of minified code? Probably. Would you be able to figure out what was going on? Probably not without some difficulty.

If it's hard to understand like that then I would be automatically suspicious of it.
