Then you’d click the „yes and never ask me again” if a prompt about whether you want to download a random binary showed up. But a lot of people wouldn’t want to click that and would either click „no and never ask me again” or vet each case one by one
How are you going to "vet" the language server when it pops up?
It's not a "random binary" either, it's a hosted binary for language features coming from the zed developers github release.
Even if the binary was compiled on demand when you clicked the button, were you going to go through the entire source of node to verify?

You may not vet the source of the language server, but you might want to determine which ones you are willing to trust/take the risk, and which ones you aren't.
