As I said: The problem is not using the software itself but knowing that the green checkmark (or whatever) it displays actually means the vote was correctly counted. The former is trivially done by a competent team, the latter not so much.
Just an example from another field: It is easy to compare key fingerprints shown by WhatsApp/Signal/GPG but how do I know that the software does not encrypt the text with a second key? Personally I am not competent to do so and have to trust others. Don't forget that it's not enough to audit the code itself but you would also need the check the whole build process from scratch (and processors it was done on for that matter - and while we are at it: how can I know that the display actually shows that it was asked to do?). How many people know how to do so?
