If it were truly about software security it wouldn't be limited to open source. Whatever standards make a piece of software secure doesn't change when it's developed by a company or a community, so what's the reason they're making the distinction in law?

For that reason I agree with the conclusion of the person above, things don't happen in capitalist societies without someone getting paid for it.

well, we can't leave it to pesky kumbaya, drum circle, communist software devs that work for free to do good security. only corporate capitalist software devs care about security. duh! now help me get this encryption bill passed so we can put back doors in our encryption, you know, for the kids' safety.
