did they stop putting backdoors into software/hardware and collecting zero day exploits instead of sharing them?

NSA is led by a four-star flag officer.

They are a component of the military.

Them giving up backdoors and zero-days would be like the Air Force giving up airplanes.

So basically they’re committed to a strategy that is not helping. They can never be a partner in security while they actively work to secretly subvert security.

No
