A lot of the free software I use is much more convenient than the commercial alternatives. See Firefox at the least for the largest most well recognized project with open contributions that is also usually much more convenient and free than commercial alternatives.
Nothing about releasing source or having a collaborative contribution model suggests the software can't be convenient. A better terminology is that security and convenience conflict one another, because to be secure requires you to sacrifice your own convenience to limit foreign entities convenience in accessing your data.
