I think that Russians are now in a unique position, having learned this lesson almost universally due to sanctions. Any foreign vendor of self-updating software can, in theory, be ordered to kill your system remotely or to deliberately introduce a backdoor.
P.S. I do realize that the same applies to domestic products, especially to the ones mandatory to install, like Russian software that is required to be present on new smartphones sold in Russia. But my point is about people learning a lesson.
