Youre exactly right about user not knowing what's in the version they run, but this can be easily remedied.
There needs to be a resource explaining the difference in versions written for the lay user.
This alone won't hold the line though. We need more miners. If #Bitcoin is freedom money, then a miner is the equivalent of an AK-47.

Totally agree. We need to decentralize all the parts.
In addition to explaining what in the software, we need alternatives that people can install if they don’t like what’s in it.
The problem is that software must be constantly updated to make sure it runs on the latest operating systems. Right now there is bitcoin core software and only core.
As a user you’ll be forced to upgrade eventually to core’s version. You don’t have another alternative. You can delay for a while, but eventually you’ll be forced to upgrade.
