I mean sure, but no one is forcing users to install software from APT groups. That's a choice people make. The general point is that you should be able to use hardware for general computing. There can be a switch that by default limits to software signed by your original manufacturer but that should toggleable by the end user.

- vlovich123 4y agoOP probably misunderstood it as Advanced Pacakge Tool, the system Debian uses for package management (ie APT sources) instead of Advanced Persistent Threat which is what the quote is talking about (ie sophisticated hackers, usually state backed/state owned that attack your machine).
- babypuncher 4y agoThey said "APT groups" which makes me think they were not talking about the package manager.
