Absolutely, and it's even worse when you are asked to blindly download and run software like the Brave browser, which is open source but exclusively packaged and distributed by an adware company with a questionable history. The software itself is open source, but independent builds seem to be discouraged and no Linux distro packages Brave as a result. I built it myself in the past, but it takes close to two hours on a workstation and isn't worth the effort to keep it updated.
