Robert Clyde misses the whole point.

He, or someone he pays, could fix the problem. If there isn't a fix, it
usually means that no-one cares enough to put the necessary resources in
place.

With proprietary stuff, everyone is at the mercy of the vendor. The only
reason why vendors fix things quickly is due to the nasty pressure tactic
of releasing exploits with notification. If this hadn't been done, we
still would be waiting years for fixes.
