As much as I like opensource, I have to say what you stated above is
incorrect. There is a disconnect. The software vendor's goal is to
sell software (like any other business), but to do that it has to
build a reputation. And it can not build a good reputation by
consistently producing bad (insecure) software.

If the argument you stated above is correct, why should it not be
applied to "all" commercial products? Why just software?
