Apple has a lot lose by stealing from a user, definitely true.
Using an open source project with a lone maintainer and a tiny user base doesn't seem great.
Bitcoin Core on the other hand or Sparrow or Electrum or Blue Wallet have pretty huge user bases.
So the question is: is my trust assumption that competent users are doing a good job reviewing my open source project of choice a bigger leap than the assumption that a large company isn't willing to risk their reputation to steal from me?
I'm not sure how to best evaluate that question.
I prefer FOSS because it is more trustless. But trustlessness alone does not necessarily yield better software.
Excellent software can emerge from both FOSS and closed source, is my point.
In 2032, all software is written and audited by AI so funding development is about to get way cheaper /s
