You’d think they’d also be worried about most proprietary software being a black box when it comes to their code. But it could be only a secondary concern

We were restricted even on some proprietary software (especially if it was from a foreign owned company), but you’d be surprised how much scrutiny some of the major packages have had.

In an ideal world where people read the open source yes. But having contracts with a provider means someone else is responsible if shit fails and that’s half of the corporate world there.
