Not your production -- not your coins^W hardware. In peacetime, it doesn't matter too much, because nearly nothing can outweigh the reputation loss if there is a case of remote equipment sabotage. In wartime, however, all bets are off.

Yeah, we know. The US proactively banned Huawei gear to prevent the same rug from being pulled out from under us. Europe has Juniper.
Same with some foreign governments moving to private-label Linux variants to reduce reliance on [US-produced] Windows.
Next is TikTok, to eliminate foreign software with large domestic deployment.
Unless we backdoor Android/iOS, the US doesn't have too many more strings to pull.
