Usage of UPX for Linux launcher binaries #4

Hello,

I was looking at the recent Trino releases (466, 467) and noticed that UPX was being used on the Linux launcher binaries which trips up certain malware scanners and makes it difficult to detect supply chain attacks whereas the macOS launcher is much easier to scan since it is not compressed.

echo "Compressing binary with upx"
if [[ "${os}" == "darwin" ]]; then
echo "Skipping upx for MacOS"
else
upx "${DIR}/${OUTPUT_DIR}${path}/${EXECUTABLE_NAME}"
fi

Is there a reason why the Linux binaries need to be compressed via UPX?
