Are people still able to decrypt the MDIL exe to get the readable source code?

MDIL is mostly native machine code (e.g. ARM or x64 instructions). Transforming MDIL back to source code would require significant analysis and effort. It would be more like to transforming a compiled C++ application back into C++.
Also, note that end users wouldn't be trying to transform MDIL back to source code. MDIL goes through the 'binding' step that transforms it to native machine code.
