Really? Why is it not the bank's responsibility to make sure it's getting valid input and not "something random"? If I attempt to transfer a random string of text from one account to another, I don't suppose it's very likely to be all numbers and to also be a valid amount. If my bank is that stupid, I'll find another bank.
I think the OSS efforts tend to attract people who fervently believe they are working on the most important thing in the world.
That's a bit farfetched. My humble motivation for participating in OSS efforts is to learn stuff and build my resume. This chould enhance my ability to get employed and/or get customers for my own business. That others could benefit from my OSS efforts is not particularly relevant.
