It’s the mechanism apparently being impossible to be cheated on what I don’t understand. Or maybe I’m just hopelessly confused.
I should have replied under the post instead of under your comment, but it was your comment the one triggering the oh wait what moment for me, sorry. Don’t feel like you have to give me an answer if I’m not making any sense

No worries man.
This is just a guess but with open source operating systems, it can and will probably be bypassed. I’m sure people will make forks without verification.
With closed source, probably not the most updated ones.
