Of course, the answer to all your questions is "not necessarily". Sure, it's totally possible for people to not audit the code, or let it be abandoned–but open source makes this probability much lower, whereas with closed-source software you have no choice in the matter at all.

I think you’re making a lot of assumptions when assuming the probability is much lower. I’d trust a really proficient small team being paid to produce secure, closed software more than a team of disinterested volunteers. I’d also trust a small group of passionate volunteers over a paid team of crappy engineers. I guess the point is that source being open or not isn’t really the important part, at least in my opinion.
