Not only security products, but all the core parts of our daily software stack.<p>I can imagine, in future, that an OS becomes like a nation. There&#x27;s a core, transparent &quot;government&quot; component of the system which takes care of all low-level resource managements and security (just like a real life government) and there&#x27;s a proprietary app which has a secret component but has to play by rule (just like a real private company). All the government behaviors and its legislators (i.e. maintainers) are constantly monitored by its users and media, and they are accountable for their actions.<p>Yes, this is far from perfect, and while we still might have the NSA of a kernel and the Enron of 3rd party apps (whatever it means), I&#x27;d argue this is better than the current everything-is-proprietary model.
