Just that there is ability to read and change the code, even if not everyone reads it, makes developers away from idea to put something malicious there.
Wikipedia accepts all new entries by default.
Almost all open source projects review any contribiution first before merge.
It’s also not fair comparison, because there can’t exists an encyclopedia you can learn from but not look what’s inside it.
But you can obfuscate machine code, making it very hard to see what it does, so it’s more temping for code developers to put malicious features when noone can see it.

Just like how no one has ever put anything malicious on Wikipedia. Nope, never, not once

This is wrong and ignorant. It happens all the fucking time. Software vendor supply chain is a huge fucking issue.
Christ, tell me you have no idea what your talking about with 1 sentence vibes.
how about you chill? it will happens less frequently than with proprietary software…
Lol no it doesn’t. It happens weekly, all the fucking time.
Source: I’ve been developing oss software for 20 years and have had to push hundreds of teams to fix their vendors bin.
Chill == I ain’t got shit to say 🤣
