So essentially an internal, military-grade Metasploit.
It's not surprising that NSA would develop and maintain a strong repertoire of exploits for popular infrastructure. What else did you think an organization tasked "to produce foreign signals intelligence information" was doing with all those computer security experts on staff?
Is there evidence that NSA was planting backdoors or that US tech firms were cooperating? Isn't it more likely that NSA was simply discovering (and possibly purchasing) 0-days just like everyone else?
They can do that with foreign equipment just as easily. Switching to non-US hardware is just irrational.
