OpenSSL was maintained by like two guys in their spare time, and underpinned trillions of dollars worth of systems and secure transfers.
Would you categorise that as “hobbyist”?
The semantics matter, so I’m going to agree with you and clarify that my concern is with the risks associated with “effectively anonymous contributors allowed” software, where personal consequences for bad actors are near zero.
On the Venn diagram of software licenses and source accessibility, this “especially risky” category significantly overlaps FLOSS and has little overlap with most proprietary software products.
I personally had no bias or aversion to FLOSS software for either personal or professional use, but in all seriousness the XZ attack after the Heartbleed vulnerability made me reconsider my priors.
