1. Open source doesn't guarantee safety without specific (and expensive) third party audits.
2. Open source doesn't mean faster development. Code review often takes longer than development.
3. Open source projects don't last forever.
4. Open source requires a lot of extra effort, and the developers would rather put that effort into the app itself.
