Lol I assume that my node is doing that for me, but we can apply that to XMR too, like how many monero people are running nodes either and verifying either? I got no issue with XMR, don't use it, would have been nice to see ring signitures on a Bitcoin side chain too but hey we make do with what we've got

It absolutely applies to xmr too
I just find it weird that people talk about Supply audibility as if they actually did it
There's also a disconnect because people are already trusting plenty of cryptographic primitives on bitcoin
It isn't the stretch to trust the range proofs that guarantee supply on Monero like people say
since its the first mover, I'm glad Bitcoin is transparent for the sake of public trust
but at this point I think it's retarded to insist on total transparency
Yes, it applies to both, but Bitcoin maxis are almost always the ones that bring up supply auditability as if they are actually personally verifying it themselves. In practice they're just relying on their node and trusting it to do it for them just like any Monero node runner.
