what is not "good" about electrum's transparency? what does "it was not built deterministically like bitcoin core" means?

from electrum's page:

Basic transparency: However, you still need to trust developers of this wallet when installing or updating the final software because it was not built deterministically like Bitcoin Core.

from bitcoin core's page:

Complete transparency: This wallet is open-source and built deterministically. This means any developer in the world can audit the code and make sure the final software isn't hiding any secrets.
