I guess you don't use any other company either because every other company has committed something bad in the past? (Sony had rootkits in their CDs, Microsoft has been anticompetitive by forcing the hands of OEMs and inserting spyware in their OS, the list can go on...).

What matters is how each company answers to their mistakes. If they double-down, you are right to avoid them. If they recognize them and make amends, it's OK to give them a chance again.

How far does that list go? I indeed don't use Sony software and I avoid Microsoft's. I don't know many other violations of this severity. For example, Dell had pre-installed root CAs (but weren't persistent like Lenovo's), and many other laptop manufacturers haven't preinstalled root CAs (e.g. HP hasn't afaik).

With Framework and System76 and other smaller manufacturers making Linux-first laptops, I'm especially disinclined to ever consider Lenovo again.
