Note how Ubuntu does things correctly, using signatures on the packages. I can copy those to any web site.

Doing things that way helps you too. Mirrors, including caches, are easy to set up.

Installing via apt will not work for Windows users.

Sure, we check signatures too. (At least, Cargo does. I think rustup may not in some circumstances? I forget) It's about defense in depth.

I am a Windows user, I know that. That's why i said "if" :)
