Communities coming together to protect themselves against a common enemy is something that we've been doing for perhaps a million years. We're actually quite good at it. But there hasn't yet been a market for tooling that brings those instincts into the realm of software. So far it has been "trust us, we're the vendor," and not "let's use this to trust each other but not our enemy".
I agree that our software supply chains are in their infancy. Regrettably, so is our ability to use software to inflict harm (if you haven't played Cyberpunk 2077, it has a pretty good take on this--you spend a lot of time killing people by hacking into their implants). I hate to be gloomy, but I think that as the threats become more real, more deadly, the supply chain integrity piece will have to level up as well.
