Are there any statistics showing that many people use the AUR with the help of an AUR helper as if they were stupid and needed to be re- educated? What makes you think that? I doubt this claim, but I can’t back up my doubts with statistics. What is certain, however, is that "the current supply chain risk comes from" criminals who abuse the AUR, regardless of whether AUR users are educated or uneducated. It doesn't help to take drastic measures based on incorrect analyses.
