One company who is notorious for cutting corners and having poor security shouldn't be the norm.
Would this get caught in an open source project? Significantly more likely.
Would this get caught by a company that relies on quality over marketing? Who knows.

I also believe FOSS provides better security (in theory at least). Not sure it works in practice (expert eyes are expensive).
