Even if less consumers will notice a compromise and report it, it still gives additional time for security researchers to analyze the packages, and for maintainers to notice themselves they got compromised
There are a lot of companies out there, that's scan packages and analyze them. Maintainers might notice a compromise, because a new release was published they didn't authorize. Or just during development, by getting all their bitcoin stolen ;)
