I don’t about that, we trust people we don’t know well in many situations in life; we trust taxi and bus drivers with our lives when they take us somewhere, we trust dentists and surgeons to operate on our bodies, etc. We do that when we don’t have a “personal relationship” with someone because they are professionals so we trust them based on that.
I don’t think it’s any different for developers, and IMO the developers of Obsidian have consistently shown themselves to be professionals so far.
IMO Gotta have a little bit of trust and faith here and there
