The only trust in using others closed source is if it hurts your enemies more than you (negative win), or you wrote it and somehow think you're safe and benefitting more than adversary (positive win). Closed source, generally also not $free, and market restricted, means you're a fart in their windstorms blowing asymmetrically, or at least randomly, against you. For most, that unknown is untenable. As before, there are immense profits awaiting the first to market #OpenTrust via #OpenAudit of #OpenHW. Not least evidenced by, say, the immense amounts of reverse money being spent against untrustable closed source enemy Huawei. Turn trust into Blockchained Open Proof Of Work, starting with #OpenFabs.

Who cares, let them cockfight and busy themselves out, your mission is greater.
Con's
It's cons all the way down. Shining some light through to the murky depths is still valid, even if only so everyone can navigate the surface layers a bit more safely. NextGen goal should be to at least break through the SOFAR channel and disrupt those operating below.

By snatch... dancing octal pussy, snowbunnies, waifu, etc... often bedazzling traps after more than your jewels.
*Leaks
Yes, keep the leaks hot, and your stick on the ice.
