Maybe you need to be a little crazy to write software like that. But I agree, it is concerning because if they decide to slip in some bullshit into their build that aligns with their politics e.g an exploit to delete all files of a person that makes a joke they don't approve of in their chat or to upload them to a server of their choice, or any other bullshit, then you're fucked.
