    "F-Droid 2.0 now fetches and installs app updates by default."

    Why not download source, review, (edit) and compile on the device, e.g., using Termux, Gradle and Android cmdline-tools

    Is "convenience" the rationale for the F-Droid app

    Maybe it's the same rationale that drives Linux users toward "binary package managers"

      Running a malicious build script is just as bad as running a malicious app, so I don´t see why you want that? Also F-droid has fully reproducible builds, so you can be sure you'll get the same binary.
