I think they mean that a lot of proprietary software (supposedly) has a large (or at least well-founded) team working on it

Weird that they would say something totally different from what they mean…

I mean, they didn’t though Theoretically, well-funded teams would be able to create more secure software and fix vulnerabilities faster than some random guy who works a full-time job and codes in his free time

You say they didn’t, and then go on to make a point they didn’t make…
They didn’t comment on funding whatsoever. Plenty of open-source software gets funding. Nothing to do with being closed or open source.
