Does anyone read install scripts/formulas when installing something from system package managers?

No, but I trust my OS distribution. I don't trust random third-party developer. I wouldn't add their APT repository willy nilly either.

On Arch, installing from AUR people are told to (and generally will) inspect the install script(s) when installing something. It's part of the workflow for all AUR helpers.
