But files obsidian works with are just bunch of .md files that can be viewed or edited with anything, nano, notepad, visual studio code etc. So does it really matter it is or it is not open source?

How is your point relevant to the security risks of community plugins?

But also - no, they aren't, they use plugin-customized non-standard markdown format, so while the extension is the same, you can't view/edit them with anything just like you can't edit Word xml files with notepad (of course, it's not as extreme as Word xml, unless you're an extreme user of custom plugins)
