It's not just about trust.

I wouldn't want a shell script to have side effects aside from its desired function.

On top of that, I wouldn't want a shell script that is being used for some task to have a runtime dependency on Internet connectivity, a registry being up, and/or the chance that a version of a dependency that is used is dependent upon when the artifact was first run.
