> ffmpeg windows binaries [1] are hosted from some random person’s site

The same thing happens with mpv: https://mpv.io/installation/

The Windows download is provided by "shinchiro" on SourceForge.

The MacOS download is provided by "stolendata", on stolendata.net

Wait until you find out that useful programs like MPV are not developed by giant corporations but by individuals or small teams. Trust something hosted on mpv.io made by the MPV maintainer but freak out when that maintainer delegates release builds for some platforms to someone else he is comfortable linking to. MPV probably also uses many libraries developed by other individuals. A society build on trust is a GOOD thing.
