The "solution" would be using a language with a strong standard library and then having a trusted 3rd party manually audit any approved packages.

THEN use artifactory on top of that.

That's boring and slow though. Whatever I want my packages and I want them now. Apart of the issue is the whole industry is built upon goodwill and hope.

Some 19 year old hacked together a new front end framework last week, better use it in prod because why not.

Occasionally I want to turn off my brain and just buy some shoes. The Timberland website made that nearly impossible last week. When I gave up on logging in for free shipping and just paid full price, I get an email a few days later saying they ran out of shoes.

Alright. I guess Amazon is dominant for a reason.
