You can’t even use their main product without loading in opaque binary blobs and agreeing to a backdoor.

That's true, that's my greatest gripe with them. It's a major part of why I'm looking to other platforms for my workstation.

That said, you can't escape that with their nearest competitor, so it's a bit of a moot point for now.
