Unfortunately my bank, government, national health, surgery, local shops, food delivery services, etc. don't open source their code. It'd be nice if they did however.

They wouldn't want you to know it all depends on a Frankensteined chunk of spaghetti'd COBOL that hasn't been updated since a guy they forgot about set it up before he retired in like 1996. And they're just betting that, if they don't look at it too hard, it won't oopsie a cascade of critical failures.
