Complexity counteracts the many eyes principle. That doesn't invalidate it. A large codebase that is difficult for one person to read will bury a bug for the same reason being open source reveals it.

What you're falling to is the selection bias because bugs in open source software are more often publicised than when a private team discovers something and patches it without telling anyone. Same as an open source bug being fixed quietly. Like the so-called VLC vulnerability that turned out to be the fault of the tester's out of date system library that had already been fixed upstream.
