Pure speculation, but maybe it's actually the Chinese?
We know it's Chinese equipment, we also know that industry there has strong ties to the Government, see the Huawei investigation as an example ( https://intelligence.house.gov/sites/intelligence.house.gov/files/documents/Huawei-ZTE%20Investigative%20Report%20(FINAL).pdf https://intelligence.house.gov/sites/intelligence.house.gov/... )
Maybe the Chinese Government encouraged their suppliers to pump out unsecured crap, knowing they'd be in a position to flood the market and take advantage of it later?
