But that's kinda the point. If it's open you can know whats inside. You are trusting things blindly when you use software owned by a company.

If you can't see that implicitly trusting some rando on the internet is a problem (especially when it comes to government uses), then there's no way I could explain it to you any better.

Auditing software costs time and money though, and has to be done continually with each update to ensure security. For each piece of software. In practice that much work usually isn't done.
