I don't mean to be hateful with this, but what's the point of your post besides random conjecture and a sort of rant about something only vaguely related to the story?
I see the comment as quite on point. There are many longstanding real problems that have been allowed to fester (in this case, embedded security). While these problems are now being talked about, there is still zero intention to actually address them. Rather they're merely being abused as talking points by fascists pretending that "something is being done" when really the "solutions" are merely the consolidation of autocratic control.
Real reform here would be something like prohibiting tying software and hardware together as one product, source code escrow, etc. Things that actually create security and consumer choice, rather than merely one less vendor to pick from.
