If your explanation would be the genesis, then the same distrust would manifest when calling library functions, which does not seem to be the case. The distrust seems to manifest from forking off a separate process invoked by it's name, not relying on externally written software. — it seems to be a distrust of forks and pipes. I think what in many cases also plays is a fundamental misunderstanding of performance bottlenecks, with many programmers believing that forking off a program and piping to it is measurably slow, while in reality if the target program be well optimized it will be faster than a single heap allocation.
