Since they would have "their pick of the litter" why did they then include kill switches?
A scary scenario is a rerun of the Viasat hack https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viasat_hack
I.e. wipe all servers worldwide at the morning of an attack, but before that you install the kill switches on your servers and those of your allies.
To make it harder to detect and reverse engineer. There's a plethora of disabling functionality in the exploit. This is bad, but the original post is being hyperbolic.
