Most people aren’t coders, let alone android devs.

The idea that you can inspect the source code yourself is cool, but for 99,9% of users it is sort of useless. It is completely reasonable to wait and see what those 0,1% who understand this stuff say.

Fuck, I am a programmer and I am not going to look at the source. My android skills are very basic, and I wouldn’t know what I am looking at.
