In fact it's much more transparent. With a compiled binary you don't see the steps involved, with a bash script you can step line by line and see exactly what the script is doing.

Those that don't care won't look at the script any more than they'll check the md5 hash of a binary to see that it's a legit binary. For those that care, they can look at the bash source.
