No, actually, there IS a platoon of elves with millions of eyes, carefully scanning all of the open source the code for bugs, meticulously going over it line by line, building rigorous test harnesses, feeding it every input imaginable to probe its weaknesses, and writing up reports describing every quirk flaw they detect in it. And then not fixing it.

And your tax dollars are paying for all of that work. And you can be sure those elves have known about those bugs for years.

And those bugs have caused many unfortunate consequences. So it's just not wise to go around giving people a false sense of security in order to promote your brand.
