Straw man.

No it doesnt turn into that, it turns into wget https://install.sh && ls && less install.sh && less lala2 && echo "ok looks good enough" && ./install.sh # no sudo, to user local install, its just a package or program ffs,

when you want packages to install for all users, or system wide, then you use the default package manager of your distribution.

Then take that to its logical conclusion and read the source code for all the stuff you are installing, and the description of all the packages you are installing. Your argument was the strawman.
