> I predict that everyone's imagination on this topic will expand once there's a big enough incident in the news.

How the Solarwinds incident, with about every large software vendor being silently compromised for years does not qualify?

Because it does not, people's imagination is as closed as it always was.



Solarwinds is closed source so the choice to build from source is not really an option.


They could have distributed the code to a few select parties for the purposes of doing a build and nothing more.


Specifically Microsoft did distribute the code to several parties for the purposes of auditing. But they didn't allow building it.
