Maybe yes, maybe no. Most of the FOSS software I use* comes as compiled executables, often with an install process. And there is a fair difference logically between libraries and executables; the former are more often distributed as source and the latter more often as compiled (and I'm sure there are exceptions both ways). Without a strong survey, it's probably impossibly to quantify.

*(On the machine I'm using right now- firefox, thunderbird, putty, handbrake, openshell, greenshot, freefilesync, _vlc_, ImageMagick, PSpad, etc etc; all installed from pre-compiled packages from that project.)

on the machine i am using right now i type "dnf install whatever", works fine for 15 years
