I'm the opposite. I don't have to trust that a website won't enable my mic or camera without permission. Won't read my location. Won't read my contact list or .ssh folder etc... Won't have some remote explioit.

For me the less native apps the better

Sorry to be a pedant, but that doesn't mean the supplied binaries have been built with the exact source provided :^)

Also, the binaries are being offered for download over HTTP with no signatures.

Checkout the source code (over HTTPS) and compile it yourself then?
