Thanks to Cromar Scott for the link.

Great anecdotes there.

I especially liked his comments about companies "You cannot trust code that you 
didn't totally create yourself. (Especially code from companies that employ 
people like me)."

Exactly the thought that gives me that particular part of the reason - basis 
for postulation. It's called "history".

Intent of malice by a company employee for any of the major software and 
hardware distributors is a possibility at all times just as any other security 
issue is. I won't ignore it or not talk about it because of a possibility of 
liable, stupidity, ignorance or trolls.

Neither should anyone else.

What is the big deal with this particular sticking point?

The justification for the question is glaring.

Any fundamental security doctrine requires us to take into account the 
possibility.

TF.
