The title is a bit vague and the article doesn’t really clarify. The point of the article is that open-source implementations of designs involving cryptography are no better than closed source implementations. The purported reason is that cryptography is difficult and therefore reviewers are unlikely to spot issues.
I presume that much open-source software is written by hobbyists while a closed source software development company may hire a crypto expert for the sensitive code.
