It's not about competence, it is about priorities.
OpenBSD obsesses about security, so that's what drives the decision-making.
All public companies are driven by profit above all, with the product being just a mechanism to get more profit. As a direct consequence, quality (and security, which is part of quality) is not the top priority. Security is only relevant to the extent its absence reduces profits (which very rarely happens).
