That is not my point. It can be Geo limited by the OS. If !(in China) _disable_ Although even that will cause unnecessary headache for hardware and OS vendors

Although even that will cause unnecessary headache for hardware and OS vendors and will/might still lead to new security issues and backdoors.

- yumraj 6y agoYes, but hardware vendors need to decide if they put the chip in all devices and reduce manufacturing/design/testing costs, or put the chip on a Geo specific model and incur higher mfg/design/testing costs. It's always a tradeoff and the cost of the chip in itself is not the sole decision driver.
