Most users who download sources and then compile those usualy don't have enough knowledge and experience to make any changes (even small ones), so they obviously can't check that the code is free from backdoors...
And concerning digital signatures... Well, again - most users are not going to check those anyway, so... It is possible to force signature checking on binary installation in some systems, but you just cannot force this in case of sources. No way...
