You don't need to verify everything yourself, when the code is open you can trust one or more third party auditing

and since when were device firmwares "open" or audited by a "trustworthy" and "competitive" party?

I work on OneCore (Windows) and sometimes I have trouble believing the kind of crap some hardware vendors ship as firmware.
