Personally I only use software I wrote myself. I'm writing this email
on a computer built around a home-made CPU programmed by hand in
binary.

No not really. RPMFusion isn't some random collection of binaries
pulled of the net. You may chose to avoid it for idealistic or legal
reasons, but FUD isn't a particularly good one. Not entirely sure what
an untrained person is in this context either. You want to do without
flash, that's fine, it doesn't take any training, except possibly in
putting up with not having flash.
