But you do have a significant amount of confidence that -unless their signing keys have been compromised- the versions of the software in the app stores are the versions published by OWS.

If you don't trust OWS to fail to publish malicious copies of its software, why would you trust them to fail to subtly sabotage their software?

I don't believe OWS would do this voluntarily, unless compelled by the government.
