The key word I disagreed with is “nothing”. They made a choice to have an intermediary and they got to choose that intermediary. That is “something” not “nothing”.
In terms of you transmission analogy, if my friend bought a used car from “joe’s bail bonds and used cars” instead of a reliable vendor, I would absolutely say that they had something to do with
the issue. Especially if they chose to buy a Yugo. Of course we don’t know much about
the MVNO … other than Purism chose them —> which, again, shows that “nothing” is not the
right word.
Did you say “anyone”? It bothers me. I’ve complained repeatedly that they didn’t list the manufacture location of the SoC/SoM. Yes, I know it’s S.Korea. I’ve also complained repeatedly that they did not provide the name of their ODM for their Librem 14 or the Librem 5.
Again: “anyone” is not the right word here.
