I'm not saying you're wrong not to trust package managers and extensions but you're life is likely full of the same thing. The majority of apps are made from 3rd party libraries which are made of 3rd party libraries, etc.... At least on phones they update constantly, and every update is a chance to install more exploits.
The same is true for any devices that get updates like a Smart TV, router, printer, etc.... I mostly trust Apple, Microsoft, and Google to check their 3rd party dependencies, (mostly), but don't trust any other company - and yet I can't worry about it. Don't update and I don't get security vulnerabilities fixed. Do update and I take the chance that this latest update has a 3rd party exploit buried in a 3rd party library.
