>Because you only have to review a 250 Byte binary

It's dishonest to not mention the millions upon millions of lines of source code you also have to verify to know that dependencies are safe to use. Compiling from source doesn't prevent supply chain attacks from happening.

In my opinion there is more risk in getting a safe Siso binary in going through this whole complicated build everything from scratch process vs Google providing a trusted binary to use since you have to trust more parties to not have been compromised.
