Closed source projects are also subject to bullying.
Project managers pressuring developers to implement half assed features in an afternoon because sales sold a feature that doesn’t exist and have signed a deal to have it delivered tomorrow morning. Who has time to review the code and ensure there are no SQL injection vulnerabilities? Just push it!
Absolutely. In my experience I've felt more pressure to merge in closed source than open source since the bully is those above you in a hierarchy with business interests who are also paying your bills.
