Shouldn't you be more concerned about the quality of the code? If no one has bothered to check the license, I'm sure nobody has studied it for a backdoor.

There are many reasons. That is another huge one.
Most of the time, nobody even is aware that including some new widget code ends up downloading half the internet, making our code size increase, our build times extend, and opening up a huge volume of attack. No one has any idea what dragons might lurk in that mess, or sometimes even that there might be dragons at all.
