Perhaps, but if it's gotten to the point where millions of people download the unsigned code, signing should probably become required. Even reproducible builds.

Required by who though? If your business etc depends upon some code, it's up to you to ensure its quality, surely? You copy some code onto your machine then it's your codebase, right?
While I think anyone unwilling to sign their code is negligent, I also feel anyone unwilling to ensure credible review of code has been done before pushing it to production is equally negligent.
