I’ve read that in espionage, open source companies are disrupted from the inside. Is an open source, non trackable device with future potential to replace the current situation worth that level of action? Pure speculation!

What you're suggesting is not at all new, there's even a nice declassified manual on sabotage and how to carry it out: https://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=750070 (or https://www.hsdl.org/?abstract&did=750070 )

A lot of projects claim to be privacy-centric or love open source, but behave quite the opposite. After reading the above manual, I've been wondering if it's pure incompetence or someone deliberate pushing things that way.
