> It's already quite a technical barrier to run Arch Linux

People are supposed to clear that barrier by studying the Arch Wiki and other technical materials so that they understand what they are doing, why they are doing it, and the risks involved.

When they install random software pushed by random people they know nothing about much less trust without even so much as a glance at the PKGBUILD, they're not overcoming any barriers, they're YOLOing their personal computers and hoping it turns out fine.

> I wouldn't blame the user.

I would. They were warned.
