This is a riot, now you're not wrong about this being a problem. Nobody really has time to read every single line of code for every single program in their computer. We might be able to get AI to do it at some point, but AI will always be fallible, maybe less fallible than uss, but fallible still.
As things stand though, because linux distros almost entirely rely on open source packages, every single user has equal opportunity to find out about things like this, and when they do it gets reported, and it's as we see, so we all had compromised systems for 3-4 weeks? Sure, but at least it was only 3-4 weeks and not 'until you install something else than windows'.
