>And "require longer support" doesn't fix it because many of the vendors will go out of business. Do you mean 'out of business so they cannot provide updates'?

Companies would have to shim to a standardised firmware that was robust, or something, to keep costs down. Isn't this all to protect USA business interests and ensure the Trump regime can install their own backdoor though?
