You don't even need to observe the average end user. Just look at software developers aka "technical experts" using npm, NuGet, Maven, and all the other package managers. Digital signatures? Nope, just run the code on your machine, please. Bonus points for allowing code execution in user context to "configure" the package and placing executables in $PATH.
npm here being exceptionally secretive on what it will install as dependencies as it can reach tens of thousands packages very quickly.
