That's true, however, not so great of an issue because there's a kind of natural selection happening: if the package is popular, other people will eventually read (parts of, at least) the code and catch the most egregious problems. Most packages will have "none" like you said, but they aren't being used by that many people either, so that's ok.

Of course this also applies to hypothetical LLM-generated packages that become popular, but some new issues arise: the verbosity and sometimes baffling architecture choices by LLM will certainly make third-party reviews harder and push up the threshold in terms of popularity needed to obtain third party attention.
