It's kind of hard for it to be. If the only software projects that existed were the elite hyperefficient ones, the ten guys who ran them could just meet up every year for a key signing party - no need for a scalable service to automatically issue them security certificates.
Computers being commoditized means the median project is very low-value, but it also means there are millions of cool projects out there.
Imagine if that kind of hyperleveraged impact was the norm rather than the exception.
