Free WordPress themes and plugins could pose significant security risks.

Why? Because they're free.

Free development and use often lead to development burnout or a lack of development, as the developer isn't generating any income. This could lead to security flaws and potential backdoors.

A paid software usually receives more performance and security attention, so people tend to give it a good rating, and more people buy these themes and add-ons.

How do you all feel about this potential issue?
