As AI decompilation and vibe coding surge, who trusts AI-cloned software?

A Reddit post questions the erosion of trust in software as AI decompilation and vibe coding spread: will small businesses trust AI clones of M365/Adobe/Autodesk or even Salesforce/ERP systems? Software's value lies in vendors who patch critical bugs and honor privacy policies. Are we heading toward radical democratization of software, or undermining the trust backbone of the information age — and is the decompilation hype another openclaw-style bubble waiting for tokenomics reality to bite?
