In my view and personal experience, the pros outweigh the cons:

* You increase the impact of your work and as a consequence also might get more citations.

* It's the right thing to do for open and reproducible research.

* You can get feedback and improve the method.

* You are still the expert on your own code. That someone picks it up, implements an idea that you also had and publishes before you is unlikely.

* I never got comments like "you could organize the code better" and don't think researchers would tend to do this.

* Via the code you can get connected to groups you haven't worked with yet.

* It's great for your CV. Companies love applicants with open-source code.

I just updated the article to include further emails from truecaller and wileyfox.

My main point is actually that I am forced to use this dialler without my consent. I am not trying to say that users shouldn't be able to customise the system but I am opposed to manufacturers forcing data-hungry 3rd party programs on customers.
