It is a different situation, because Nix packages are part of the Nix distributdis, while AUR packages are not part of Arch. AUR packages are more like Ubuntu ppa’s, you can add and run them, but you are on your own risk.
Also,it is a huge number of packages (about 114,000) which are many used by relatively few people. Each arch user has in average probably only a few of these.
So, it makes sense that users review them by themselves. If you can’t do that, you should probably not use them.
