Do all these entities operate independently? Is there no internal web of trust they could use to distribute rebuilt binaries?

Yeah, they operate independently. No new binaries, period.

Which makes sense: compartmentalise. Otherwise, a failure of one domain would compromise all the others.

I hope there's some automated assistance for scanning inbound source code too. Imagine reviewing everything, line by line, millions of them.
