In your opinion, why did they choose the open source way instead of doing it in a military bunker? (Metaphorical not literal bunker.)
Open source is about standards. If for example USA uses chinese algorithms or whatever, if China discovered some drawbacks in it and did not disclose it originally - it can be used as a weapon.
Perhaps because open source undercuts Western companies. I assume they have secret ones that are as good or better.
