Maybe the open source apps could be lying about their source code? For an example, put a version without trackers while the one they use have trackers?

"the one they use" Who is they? What is the one they use? Most Linux distributions and F-Droid build every package from the source code and make available the source code that was built.

"They" as in the developers and the app itself.
