The main argument in the article (and other places I’ve seen WG discussed) is the relative ease of auditing the core code as well as auditing implementations. In that context it’s less of an augment that it’s “more secure” and more of an argument that it’s “more cost/time effective to assure that it (the core code or Any implementation) is secure”.

That argument can be strong when considering that effective security in most projects comes down to whether assurance of security can be discerned effectively within a limited time window. Often very limited.
