The only c/c++ code is code I downloaded and installed or that my OS vendor trusted to include in the OS.

You never brew install anything? Or brew cask install, or git clone followed by make, or...

Even npm install sometimes compiles C.

It's hard to get away from c/c++ code.

Maybe he's running Linux? There, software installed through the package manager from the distro's repos count as code which the OS vendor trusted.
