(Emphasis mine).
That's wrong - a significant part of OSX (the Darwin core - kernel and Unix-ish command-line facilities) is open source.
In any case, equating proprietary to insecure and open source to secure is clearly fallacious - the two best-known security concerns of recent times (Shellshock and Heartbleed) came from open source software.
