It would be awesome if open source apps on an app store has a badge indicating which commit of which git tree they came from and only allowed updates that similarly come from public trees.

In which case: yes, never. > Unless you give up on I don't refuse to install apps, I have apps for both my primary banking organisations on my phone, I don't intend to write apps, I don't intend to provide extra fodder for their platforms and claims of their size.
