The security of one and security of another aren't an apples to apples comparison.
The underlying security of the operating system and user applications running in it has very different risks and benefits versus the integrity of source code commits and who gets to make them.
The latter is something they're equipped to deal with without changing tools. They've decided that the costs of making that technology change aren't worth the benefits that it provides and I mostly agree.
