  • Sync is popular because its closed source makes it harder to break the security aspect if you don’t have all the access to source code.

    Do I understand correctly that you mean, that closed source makes something more secure?

    I believe that open source can be more secure because:

    • More people looked at the source code thus more bugs have been discovered.
    • Bad actors will get a hold of your code anyways. Especially mobile apps should be easy to reverse engineer.
    • Intentional backdoors are easier to hide in closed source applications.

    There might be more arguments, but I think you get the point.
