I'm very surprised that many seem to simply accept the rhetoric of this story and its talking points. Exactly why are these chips being included and disabled, as opposed to not including them in the first place? No one seems to be questioning this part. Can anyone shed light on this? What is the back story here?

It's one part of a multi function chip and there's no reason to special order a version without FM. Fun fact: at least for small orders you can get PICs cheaper than 555s.
