I agree with this. The purpose of minimizing /bin is somewhat
historical. When disks were smaller and more expensive, an admin would
want to minimize what is on /bin and /sbin and n

There's currently no way to force the system to only run software we built.
The closest thing is to disallow non-root users to run programs that are in a
directory not owned by root (or /tmp), so normal users can't run programs
