No, I don't think I will trust you as telling me to trust you is not a valid qualifier. And, I do think you're reading too much in between the lines. For example

Please stop with low effort clickbait.
There are no mentions of all the positive outcomes that have emerged from their open source shift. In other words, it does focus too much on recent drama rather than putting this in the context of all their contributions.
Nor, considering the title of the article, has there been any consideration for the overall ecosphere of the tech giants that are playing in this space. If you ask the question, then look at who the others are. I cannot think of two worse companies to 'trust' than Oracle and Apple and represent the antithesis of openness. There are existing contributors, Google and Facebook, who do plenty and can somewhat be trusted considering their nature, and despite their reputation. There you will find a similar pattern, some things are open and some are proprietary Looking at the context of their contribution over the past few years I would put them firmly in the latter category. The answer to the headline is: yes, somewhat.
