No, not really. There have been multiple instances of actual malware being distributed signed with a developer ID. This isn't theoretical; being signed is no assurance because these days it's hard to get such software to run at all on Macs if they weren't signed.
I think this is only true if you define "little" as "not a 100% gold-plated, certified FDIC-insured guarantee."
In most contexts, saying something is "little guarantee" means it's worthless. And, as frequently documented on HN and elsewhere, that's simply not true.
