and what is the purpose of that policy, according to that person ? As far as I understood - it is about being "safe from malware".


Leaving malware issues aside, if you stick to the packages found in the repos you can be sure that they're absolutely compatible with your distro, avoiding libraries/misconfigurations issues.

And what to do when repos do not have thing I need - for example "GPRS_EasyConnect" ? All howtos I googled for failed, and that tool saved my day, when I needed Internet connection via GPRS on Ubuntu and my hardware.
