Nobody actually inspects binaries anyway, what's the difference?

  Why bother with python and open source then? Presumably every package you install with pip/uv would be source available and you could build them. The idea behind most package managers including apt and pip is that they help you build the software and try to make it easier for you without actually downloading and trusting binaries.

I'm so deeply confused
