It's the organization you use if you're sick, lost your job, where you get your social security etc. Basically a huge behemoth of all kinds of social or labor services.
While most of the code probably has little value for others (2000 different repos), I think it's quite noble that it's public, given it's made with tax payer money and serves our people. And when working there I found it quite cool to work in the open, a sense of pride in publishing everything we were doing. Also a bit funny, just checked the project I started 5 years ago: "last updated 42 minutes ago".

This is the official government app (you can get benefits, pay taxes, etc...), downloaded by 30+ million citizens, stack is React Native + Typescript

DigiD has some minor annoyances, but it's a helluva lot better than some alternatives I could think of.

If you compare that to 2FA for Office 365 for example, where you just have a push notification where you press a button to allow, then you can't help but think that some attention to UX would be helpful.
As it is, I usually pick SMS verification instead of using the app. Yes, less secure, but so much easier.

I suppose openness will enhance security over time?

Sounds like it was not voluntary. Also not sure what kind of transparency is expected here, since there is no way to find if the source code published is the same used to build the app. Maybe decompilation is the way to go...
