Not sure how to best say it, but I think in the end it's better to not put any trust into any hardware- (or software-) provider anyway, it shouldn't matter whether your chips are built by a "good" or "bad" actor, just assume it's a bad actor when designing the systems around it. Maybe this leads to more robust systems overall, also for cases when there was no "evil intent" (see Spectre/Meltdown).
