It's this sort of attitude that's destroyed the hobbyist programming community for the Windows Platform.
It's also an outdated view:
1. Most Windows software is signed with an Authenticode cert which requires the author to prove who they are to the CA and hand over at least $99.
2. Windows these days has SmartScreen running all the time, which checks executable file hashes against a cloud based database and blocks apps with known issues. Doesn't help if it's an unknown but massively reduces the risk.
3. Windows has a policy that can be enforced that blocks the execution of any software that doesn't pass points #1 and #2.
