I think you asking me for “quality study” informs me that I don’t want to talk to you about this anymore.
I understand ideologically you’re all for open source software (so am I, but you can’t see that) and you believe there is no merit to close sourced software. You believe open source software is inherently more secure and nothing will convince you otherwise and to be honest I just don’t care.
In the real world your argument falls flat, the ideology is great but practically it doesn’t shake out that way. If you’re incapable of recognizing the merits AND flaws in both systems then I don’t have any desire to continue talking to myself.
I’ve not at one moment argued against anything other than your narrow view, I am a proponent of open source software and am a contributor to a project I guarantee impacts your life every day. I’m not shitting on open source and never would.
All of the things you say CAN make it better and many times do. That said it doesn’t inherently make it better and just because you crowdsource doesn’t mean you got it right. There is nuance. Democracy always fails on the idea that 1 Million Voices are smarter than 1, which isn’t always the case.
Open Source Software ought to be used EVERYWHERE IT MAKES SENSE and not used where it doesn’t.
The problem is when people make statements that just aren’t true to push for something that can stand on its own without false narratives.

A lot of straw man arguments. Overall, I think we agree on the value of open source.
