I think you're right that anyone that uses a third party to select what software they run is a weaker link than those that make well-informed choices, and therefore they:
- don't necessarily understand the software they run, and thus
- haven't made choices needed to operate a node properly, and thus
- can relatively easily be tricked into running software that isn't in their best interest (though arguably, you can get gaslit on twitter all the same and still make choices against your own interest.)
This is arguably the hardest part of Bitcoin when facing a blocking minority holding out or, worse, majority misinformation. But, so far it's been pretty good and crises have not really disrupted that much, yet.
