In the theory of capitalism, competition between vendors is the main aspect of  
going futher in development.
As in every day capitalism, faster and cheaper is not always better - but if a 
product is well developed and reaches a high quality it might also be better 
- it's the balance that counts.

Thus, won't be a little more competition between the vendors better for 
security at all?
I know, that the flow of information between the vendors is really important 
and should not be stopped - but bigger effords in coding and testing should  
be hounored.
