I already gave you an example, you dismissed it because you know better, but it is clear that you haven’t thought this through from the perspective of systems designers who have to deploy a base OS, with expected lifetimes of years, across a large fleet of devices.

Think industrial applications, such as rail and heavy industry transportation. We use reproducible builds here as part of a wider safety-critical protocol which guarantees that what we are running is what we expect to run - nothing more, nothing less.

Reproducible builds are certifiable. They can be relied on in environments where certification costs millions and takes years.

Think outside your consumer box for a minute.
