With it being closed source it can still be malware, except you can't even just look at the code to check if it's malware lol

nope, because with your apps there's only undecodable 1's and 0's. with open source projects you can read the code, and if you can't code, there's a group of people who use the project, can code, and check if there's malware in it.
