Yes. There are bad and good actors on all sides.

Just because something is closed source doesn’t make it bad. And just because something is open doesn’t automatically make it good.

It does however increase the chance that it will be bad, because the average snake that produces closed source software is likely to be motivated by greed, so it has the incentive to milk you as hard as it can without turning you away from products (using lies of course, you can't check anything after all, it's closed shit).

But seeing sibling explanation being downvoted into oblivion makes me think no one is interested in discussing this anyway so why waste breath.
