the market will determine what should and should not be audited, according to supply and demand. thinking that a couple employees that were not paid for with profit but with printed and taxed government dollars is not and never will be a substitute for the free market, which is a synonym for humanity. not respecting that fact will always result in loss and inefficiency. and no amount of paragraphs can undo that.

The market has been horrid in determining that. There are a few dozen massive companies funding a significant amount of the menial and boring work done on FOSS. Possibly because they have more to lose from their competitors building moats and wide-scale incidents.
Thankfully governments are now also funding FOSS work but this really doesn't align with what you're envisioning, I think.
