>-> they find (and fix) more bugs

Where is the evidence that this happens? Do you have data (Open vs closed) showing more security bugs were found through developers, versus external sources?

>-> the system is more secure, because all bugs are found and fixed, instead of being kept inside the code and being sold on hacker forums and agency surveillance projects.

Why would a hacker fix a linux bug for free, but chose to sell a windows bug? That doesn't make sense to me.
