I would like to know why such culture exists.
I'd love to be able to understand the reverse, why do people insist on downloading
binaries?

There could be any manner of virus or back door in binary, at least if its
source code I can audit it myself, better yet I can fix it too.

I've been able to teach a number of people basic programming and compiling skills, even people who have left school without qualifications, its just not as difficult as it looks.

In many cases a developer is only too glad to help out someone who is struggling
with their beloved creation...

Best
Chris
