You're trying to apply an impossible standard to closed source software that software that was that developed from the start to be open source and developed in the open cannot meet.

There are a lot or security holes regularly surfacing in all kinds of software. We don't even have the post mortem of the kernel.org compromise

Steam is a basically a middleman for games taking 30% cut of revenue. Of course they're and should be terrified of how Apple eliminated middlemen with the App store and the 30% cut of all sales inside the app. There are things like Xfire for the social gaming features.
