> They're falsely marketed as open but are actually closed source hardware

This is just a strawman: Nobody claimed they were open hardware.

This is like saying that FLOSS doesn't make it harder to hide a backdoor. Of course it does.

The backdoor would be in the firmware and open schematics for a PCB don't say anything about open firmware right....
