I do miss your point. In both cases I have to trust that company is not maliciously lying and doing something. If anything, the bigger the company the higher likelihood that if something malicious is going on it becomes known through whistleblowers.
you don't have to trust a company as you are free to compile the app yourself, that is just what i choose to do.
that being said i don't think this conversation is leading anywhere and wasting both of our time, therefore i won't be replying anymore, happy fediversing.
I use iPhone. I do not think it is an option for non-developer to install anything on it without jailbreak (which I also would never do).
In general the attitude that one can avoid trusting private company that builds airplanes by designing and building an airplane (and flying) yourself will not get you far.
