The whole point is that this would give a false sense of security. Scanned dependencies aren't secure, they're just scanned by some tools which might catch some issues. If you care about security, you need to run those same scans on your side, perhaps with many more rules enabled, perhaps with multiple tools. PyPI, understandably, does NOT want to take any steps to make it seem like they promise their repo doesn't contain any malware. They make various best effort attempts to keep it that way, but the responsibility ultimately falls on you, not on them.
