Don't get me wrong, there are definitely areas where blockchain tech is (or may be) a good solution. Those are for problems where distributed trust and consensus between (potentially) adversarial agents is necessary; where a central authority either doesn't exist, or can't be trusted. In this situation, you are downloading code from a central authority, and have placed your trust there already. What benefit does a distributed solution give here?
