MyBB is open source but you'd probably need to understand how tapatalk handles it to understand why spoilers are causing an issue.
MyBB isn't compiled. Its a collection of PHP scripts that are parsed and executed by the server whenever a request is made. I can actually edit these on the fly to some extent, but doing so risks breaking things.
Modding it is also possible, but again I hesitate because it breaks things to do this.

Not necessarily. The spoiler tags we are using come from a mod that was loaded, it is not a standard feature on this core. tapatalk cannot afford to support all the possible configurations out there, so they probably only support the core featureset and make no attempt at properly supporting modded in features like spoiler tags and certain types of embeds.
And as far as ads go, I've said before that I do not have them installed here. If tapatalk is putting ads on the site anyway, they are keeping that money for themselves- and have just given me a big reason to not like them.
I mainly use tapatalk for push notifications, wish there was an alternative.
