What are other ways to BTFO "Performance & Security" people?

Use the AUR all the time and download as many packages from there as you can

I can tell you don't do this because if you'd tried you'd find it doesn't work. Programs throw bitch fits when your uid is 0. Although simply symlinking /root to your /home/<user> folder and setting up nopasswd sudo and nopasswd polkit (and making sure your system has no trace of xdg-su on it) will get you 99% of the convenience benefit

you can edit the source to comment out the part of the code that causes it to throw a fit

for example makepkg i think is just a shell script that you can easily edit. Dont even have to compile jack shit.
Youre right I dont do it becasue I have no use case for it rn, but the possibility is there.

I installed Brave from the AUR and do all my internet banking and investments with it.
