That’s what you disagree with? If anything, I was expecting someone to insist that it’s not unreasonable to run software from a company you don’t trust. That’s an easy argument to steel-man, because there are many ways to run untrusted software safely.
But if you think that trust itself is a false dichotomy, I’d love to hear what that sounds like. I’m struggling to think of a good faith steel-man of this assertion.

There are obviously levels of trust. I'm truly baffled that you're struggling with this. Your trust in a person, or a company, can increase or decrease over time. You can trust someone with some tasks but not with other tasks. Again, this is so incredibly obvious, I'm not sure why I have to point it out.
