I agree, for example: When a WordPress vulnerability is found, millions of sites are at risk. The large installation base is enough incentive for people to relentlessly scrutinize WordPress for vulnerabilities.
Your home-made CMS isn't going to attract attackers because the spoils are limited to one site, and the code isn't readily available.
That doesn't mean your CMS is more secure; it probably isn't. But it's going to take a focused effort to attack, and an exploit becomes less likely.
