That's not surprising. FIPS 140 is primary a signalling mechanism for how desperate you are to sell to the USG and USG-affiliated organisations, not a security indicator. Only a company prepared to set fire to $100k or more gets to play.
And if you're a hardware vendor, you have to set fire to $300-400k because to play there you need to be level 3. Levels 2 and 4 may as well not exist because you need 1 for software and 3 for hardware, why would any company set fire to more money than they need to to get their ticket to ride? It's not like we're talking about AI here.
