I think the hate directed their way has more to do with the outsized claims of the founder, Jesse Lyu. For example, he claimed that you're buying a device with a "LAM" but it turned out to be playwright scripts wrapping APIs + OpenAI APIs, and the underlying action model was missing (or very nascent at ship). The team also took a lot of shortcuts security-wise and is getting wrecked for it now (it's not just one hole):

Doesn't help that he was shilling crypto right before rabbit. What people love about the form factor has mostly to do with Teenage Engineering's quirky design. Somehow Jesse is a board member there, it seems.
In general I don't recommend trusting their software. If you like the hardware, you can flash AOSP and use google assistant -- it's way more capable and AOSP isn't harvesting your credentials. https://github.com/RabbitHoleEscapeR1/r1_escape https://github.com/RabbitHoleEscapeR1/r1_escape

With my eternal love/hate relationship with Teenage Engineering (cheap enough music gadgets vs overpriced metal folding table and OP1 price inflation) I'm almost excited to find more reasons to stop giving the company any more brain time / money ever again.
