Humans have survived perfectly well for longer periods than 40y without software freedom.
Ignorance is a very powerful mechanism that can hardly be underestimated.
Unless you are running GNU Guix, you are most likely running pretty large pre-built binaries that you have downloaded.
If you cannot reproduce the same binary from the source code, how can you be sure you are running the source code you inspected? You can't, without Reprocuducible builds, software freedom is just another nice and cozy fairy tale.
