I would Imagine that when you are privy to secrets which become increasingly valuable, you also draw some heat on yourself.
What are your thoughts?

Not inherently, no. But the problem is you DONT KNOW which ones are safe or not. You’re running software on your device without knowing what it’s doing.
Generally open source software is safer because if it was malicious somehow someone could theoretically see that and report it.
So if they want to make it malicious generally they will make it closed source as well.
The code review at a closed source shop, maybe 20 people are aware, of that 20 maybe 3 will actually read the PR/MR before approving it. In an open source project maybe 5 people maybe 500 will be aware of the PR/MR, every one of those fuckers will read the proposed change and not only that, they’ll each have an opinion about it.
Daylight is the best antiseptic.
