typically but not always, take the stupidity of both php and systemd as
classic counterexamples, popularity tends to result in more bugs being
found.

the counterexamples show that if the developers have pathological
psychological issue (such as lennart pottering regularly closing critical
security bugs as WONTFIX) you cannot make that assumption.

the BSDs go for much better security however their lack of popularity has a
flip side: lack of convenience, less diversity, less recipes, less
documentation.
