But Intel put proprietary work in ICC and their math libs, so there is something on periphery that’s going to keep the worry alive even if it doesn’t have a base.

Well, to be clear, both ICC and MKL are fully proprietary. They do indeed justify the worry, but they're not in the same "open source but may be susceptible to proprietary creep" category.
