If they embed it in their firmware, you can count on people avoiding their products like the plague. You can also count on firmware hacks in databases like the RPC1 hacks designed to remove firmware based region-lockdown. I invite them to collaborate. By putting all their eggs into one basket, they will allow us on the consumer freedom end to concentrate a greater number of hackers on fewer targets, cracking it much faster. The nature of intercorporate collaboration will hinder them further in addressing said breaches as well.
