If you repeat something frequently enough, a lot of people will regard it as true. And a lot of people are extremely reluctant to reevaluate their judgements after they've made them, even in light of new information.

IIRC, the "FOSS is more secure" refrain started in the 90s/00s, when security was an afterthought even at companies like Microsoft and Apple and Linux was unusual enough to fly under the radar when there were a lot of big, high-profile worms circulating. But since then some closed-source commercial software has gotten much more secure, and FOSS has gotten more popular, but remains plagued by important projects that get by on shoestring resources.
