> Why should I trust a security update from Apple, Microsoft, or Canonical for instance

Because it's your operative system and you can't realistically read and compile each time the patches (if you have the sources). If your operative system is against you you've utterly lost, so your best bets are to both trust them and use 100000 eyes to find bogus patches (open source OS)
