If it is in third-party repo, it means that the distribution maintainers do not maintain/test it. A third party does. When that third-party package replaces so

If it is in third-party repo, it means that the distribution maintainers do not maintain/test it. A third party does. When that third-party package replaces something that is a part of the system, you are going to have a difficult upgrade next time the new distro release is out, unless the third party ensures smooth transition. Do you have that trust in them?

Nope. I'd rather use windows than worry that I'll break my OS by installing a third party app

  You can break windows by installing third party apps too. Or by well-aimed edit in registry. All systems can be broken by incompetent user with root or administrator password.
