The thing is, everywhere you use your password is probably 'closed source' and probably has 'lots of bugs'.
Ima guess that people re-use a lot of passwords and therefore are going to be at risk due to said 'closed source'.
I think that open v. closed may be only one of many considerations.

You can't trust any of these services, so you generate transient, strong, one time passwords for each of these, and then use a password manager you trust to manage it all instead. If one gets leaked, then sure it's a pain, but at least it doesn't mean they can log into every other service too!
