Breaking a build in a way that is trivially rolled back is not in the same league as pushing code that harvests email addresses, CCs and mines bitcoin.

A build will often reach out, download and install new and potentially breaking software components and it is part of its function to prevent breaking software components from reaching the application where it could cause material harm.
