But how do you know that this closed source software isn't evil? You can't distinguish without an audit by a competent person you trust. Most closed source software isn't audited to a level that I'd deem sufficient for my security.
The problem is even worse: proprietary software has a single owner that can be coerced into including (even targeted) backdoors by state level attackers.
If I really want to run proprietary software I typically try to containerize it or even run it in VMs.
