I heard that the Red Alert 2 source code is officially (while unannounced) lost, which is why there has been no remaster. Is this true?


EA showed they had Red Alert 2 tapes in the archive when they did the C&C Remaster stuff back in 2018-2020

The Mental Omega folks are also known to have a complete archive of everything which is why their "mod" is such a technical achievement above what the game engine can normally do
