The real problem is that so far, open source has been mostly more responsible than closed source. mostly. So many companies and people just go 'eh' and accept the defaults rather than really digging in. Which, in a real way, means they get what they deserve, but on the other hand, what is the alternative?
I mean, personally, the alternative I like is a sort of hybrid model, where you pay someone else to do the vetting, like RHEL, but nobody I support is willing to stay within the RHEL package world, or to otherwise pay to really vet the packages they use, so it's defaults all the way down, and it usually works just fine! until it doesn't.
