This thread has been comprehensively derailed and is an embarrassment to informed discussion. Imagine if a major Chinese firm had 'forgot' to document a microphone, how many people here would be making excuses? This is an astonishing reflection of the quality of technical discussion. Anyone who is even remotely familiar with hardware design will know this cannot be an accident in any way and form. It's there because its designed to be there. The fact that its not documented takes it firmly in the territory of extreme malice and dystopic surveillance unconstrained by any ethical concerns. The only folks for whom this is not a concern are those unburdened by any sense of societal or ethical concern. They represent those sections of the tech community who have zero compass or qualms and do not see any problem building a toxic dystopic society.
