DadJoke007: Simple, Linux is open source so anyone can review the code and contribute if anything seems off or fishy. All the cards are on the table, nothing strange at all.

With Windows, for example, we have no idea how many bugs or backdoors there are because it's closed. Only those at Microsoft can review the code, so if Microsoft wants to do something dirty or if Windows has more bugs than Egypt during the plague, we will not have a clue about it and no one (outside of Microsoft) can do anything about it or call attention to the issue.
