I agree with that. Inertia is maybe one of Bitcoins biggest strengths. Nevertheless, there is a subset of miners who will run virtually anything released by Core, with no care for its substance. I would love to see Core try to introduce an obvious but non fatal bug, just to see what percentage of the network would run it. It would be an interesting experiment to see just how much control they actually have over the network, and how many of the miners are actually paying attention.
THIS! I feel like the more people get involved with Bitcoin and apps/OSes are released to make running nodes easier, the less people actually care or check the validity of the underlying software. I bet you no one checks whether the Bitcoin Core code running on arguably the most popular node system (Umbrel) is valid.

verifying docker images is virtually impossible if not build by yourself

Correct. Part of the reason I hate docker and don't use it. I understand it's benefits and appeal but I personally stay away from it no matter how irrational my aversion may be.

well you can build Docker Containers yourrself using the source code instead of using an image
