Same answer, I suppose.
I take the point that this is complex, but that doesn't discard OS/community by default. It's not impossible that community built OS could produce software trustworthy enough to be widely usable. FOSS has played in high stakes arena successfully before.
I would say that the point you and GP make demonstrate that "move fast and break" or "MVP" stuff can't be applied easily. That's not specifically something that impacts OS. It's just a difficulty of the space.
