That's like saying "i just want to bungee jump off this bridge" when the bridge is 10m above active traffic.

This piece of infrastructure is not designed to work this way. It's made for linux nerds. Not unknowing users. And I don't see why the AUR should punish the former because the latter are ignorant. So either be able to understand and actively read the things you're running or just don't.

That is some gatekeeping bullshit right there.

How is that gatekeeping?
