1. What about NSA and some of their efforts revealed via Snowden's leaks? No one knew for years and many companies were prevented from releasing information via the secret gag orders.
2. FBI refuses to reveal their methods of breaking into the iPhone.
3. What about the Lavasoft case?
4. The secret FISA courts and the Patriot Act?
USA is just smarter at hiding and concealing this stuff.
As for your #3, the recent Allwinner backdoor reveal does show that sometime it takes a while before someone finds the backdoor and open source doesn't prevent it.
