I don't know if that's really true. DoD gets the Windows source code for example.

I don't see how that's relevant.

Tools exist to audit anything on the windows CLR. So, from a security standpoint they have everything they need and can request the source code if any red flags show up.

Sure, the source code is great if you want to maintain code. But, for a security audit it's often more deceptive than useful.
