But if you went through all those steps to check the binary, you have built it yourself. So why not build it from source in the first place?


We would not be checking it for ourselves but for all the other people using bitcoin.
Maybe you are using the precompiled version. How do you know it doesn't have a backdoor? You don't! because nobody is checking.
