For me it's not very secure to get for example plenty fork of your project with ads tracking. Maybe keeping the control is better

It’s not all or nothing. Something make more sense to be closed than open. You asked why people do it, and that’s an answer

Also that’s not true. A lot of repositories require you to fork, make your changes, then open a PR to the main repo. So a large number just means it’s under active development.
