Are any web3 builders here open sourcing their UI/Frontend layers? The pro open-sourcing case seems aligned philosophically and for ecosystem development but the potential security / phishing issues are a strong deterrent. (Just Google a famous dapp to see the phishing site ads)

Not open-sourcing does nothing to prevent phishing attacks... The very nature of the web means it's trivial to copy/paste/modify any frontend code, regardless of it being obscured/minified. Personally, I think not open-sourcing in web3 is a bigger risk.

The Solana wallet hack would have been figured out within an hour instead of over a day if that ecosystem had the culture of being open-source, with an army of engineers able to descend on wallet codebases to track down the issue.
