For sure, but this is infinity better than some close sourced project (like hardware driver, old iphone), where the user are stuck because the code is NOT open. What you are mentioning seems like a business and funding issue in general for software development. However, in now days and age everything (beside private key) ought to be open sourced. That is how a transparent work will work. And as we can lack of transparency has caused way more problem than problem such as oVirt project

I agree that it would be better to have the source code for things. However, what good is the source code if you don't know how to, or even worse, can't build it because it was always built using an intricate web of build systems that rely on servers that no longer exist? Can I patch and recompile the project on my computer and is it easy to find out how to do it? Do I even have the tools to build it freely available? Unfortunately, a great many open source projects fail this test.
