Should Privacy Guides require open-source, source-first or source-available as a criteria for all tools?

Unfortunately, all things aren’t equal when it comes to software, which is why I am against broad site-wide criteria like this.

I agree that not all things are equal.

This may hold true in situations where there aren’t enough open-source alternatives available (for example email clients for iOS or cloud storage clients). However, it shouldn’t apply when there are various open-source options for a particular category (e.g., password managers).
