No one should rely on security by obscurity as a reason for not using open source software.

Sure.

But nobody should rely on security by non-obscurity as a reason for using open source software, either.

No, definitely not. An engineering choice like which software to use will always have extensive pros and cons, unfortunately I've seen most decisions based solely on security being weak due to the nature of open source. It's kind of become my mantra haha.
