Assuming you trust GitHub CI, why doesn't attestation bring the same value?

I haven't really looked into what it entails in establishing an attestation for a CI-built package, though, but I thought the idea was that you will at least get a git commit id that will describe the work, and that the attestation says that that's the work that's been done?

Reproducible building would be useful for removing the need to trust GitHub. But then what do you need the builds for anyway, you would always need to build it yourself anyway?
