FOSS apps can be just as malicious as non FOSS apps.

You're absolutely correct, but proprietary software has been overwhelmingly more malicious than most FOSS. Plus, you can determine that FOSS is malicious, where it can be difficult to do the same with proprietary software.

Nobody turns FOSS into proprietary software with the goal of reducing the possibility of it being malicious. That just doesn't make sense.
