I agree with this, but I think the main problem is the centralization of trust, or the user having to place trust in one or two entities.
Imagine if 10 or 20 different organizations all had access to the source code and could vouch for the checskum of a each build.
While it would be nice if we could trust FB, Apple, etc., it would be much better if we didn't have to, and could simply trust others who have less to lose from alienating government officials.
