most likely, too -- we can go on about state involvement etc, but without evidence I think ockham's razor applies here.

I think it's more in Hanlon's razor territory than Ockham's razor. It's absolutely not unheard-of to see deliberate backdoors in a lot of commercial software (usually as some debugging port that the devs didn't think anyone would find), but it's just much more likely that it's a product of incompetence than malice.
