Yeah, now imagine they succeeded and it didn't cause any performance issues...

Can we even be sure no such successful attempt has already been made?

You can be certain it has happened, many times. Now think of all the software we mindlessly consume via docker, language package managers, and the like.

Remember, there is no such thing as computer security. Make your decisions accordingly :)
