It's not just that the level of trust is very low. I shouldn't need to place any trust in the developers of my terminal at all. If I can't know for a fact that it's not acting against my interests, then I'll pass. I already have such a big selection of fully open-source terminals available. Why would I even consider taking any king of risk with this one?

I can’t speak for you, but generally people at least consider this tradeoff because of the additional utility of the third party tool. Ideally all these features would exist in the system terminal, but that hasn’t happened, and it possibly won’t ever.
