The Xz backdoor and a near miss on the F-Droid app store show how the entitled attitude of some people in the open source community can be used to push malicious or insecure code.
Seems to me like they’ve done a pretty good job keeping their store free of malicious apps, I’ve never heard of any breaches like I have of every other store including Snap and Flatpak.
Maybe they’re pissing some people off in the process, but maybe it’s the right people to piss off. They’ve been able to hold it together in the FOSS app space better than most.
