I don't think a "reasonable person" from the perspective of a court (non-developer, non-technical, end-user) can be expected to know (or even learn) how to compile software in this way, not to mention other downsides it has (like lack of updates and possibility to create new bugs) so I don't think this would be allowed, but it's up to a judge to decide on a case by case basis, not us armchair experts.

I mean I don't think the EU can oblige you to make your software available to people who don't know how to use a computer.

Well that's a hot take if I ever heard one.

It's good that we have operating systems that are easy to use (e.g. Mac OS, Windows), but this is not a priority for Linux desktop distributions (which is fine); what counts as easy to opt in/out of is very contextual.
