Cargo distributes libraries as sources, not precompiled objects.
Yes, that is true.
Thought, even this remains problematic because cargo does execute build/compile time scripts, unsandboxed, that can be used to do malicious things, similar to the problems with npm.
But “you would have to reverse engineer binaries” is objectively false, since packages are source.
I agree on your other point, but you really should edit the misinformation.
