Who can guarantee me that this isn't built by some national security agency with some tiny, hidden backdoors?

  No one can, but isn't that the case for all software? At least it is Free Software with reproducible builds, so you can audit the shit out of it.

    I totally agree, but no one ever pays the money to have it properly audited

      It's you. You can pay to have it audited right now. You can also audit it, if you have the skillset.
