Interesting, are this tools are yours? I can't recall the company name but such decompiler are exist. A quote from Bill Thoen on 1999 post.

'Check the archives for April 97; search for "mapbasic AND
decompile" and you'll find out that such a thing does exists and
what people think of it. It isn't free, and it isn't sold, but if
you can prove you have rights to the source code, you might be 
able to get your translations done through this service.‎'

Joe Bolian of Stopwatch Maps is the guy you want to contact, and he will decompile your .mbx for free. But you have to prove that either you or your company actually owns the .mbx program. This is done with a simple copyright notice, embedded in the program.

There are others who have solved the riddle and are able to decompile MapBasic mbx's too, because I've seen the notes, and so if you have a valuable program that you want to keep secret, then I'd suggest that you put the important bits into .dlls compiled with C.
