If as a user you're willing to pay these library/application owners and premium to do so, by all means; this is a reasonable demand. But short of a massive campaign to educate and change minds, I can't see the average user caring enough.
My biggest gripe honestly is businesses rather than any particular opensource project, opensource projects can often get away with these issues getting caught by the many eyes looking at them before they ever make it to mainline.
But they usually don't? heartbleed should have put that idea to rest once and for all. The many eyes don't exist.
You will never change my mind.
So you have a dogmatic belief, not based on evidence then.
The evidence is clear, "safety" paranoia is leading to increasing authoritarianism.
