Better not use any software by Microsoft then. Also definitely none of that scary open source stuff by people who’ll just hand over the code to anyone who asks.

Kind of missing the point, it's not about the source code. It's about the authors willingness to cooperate just because an NSA agent implied "it's important".

Consider the amount of cooperation which in this case was ‘send them the source code’.
