A few different people comment in the OP article.

The TLDR version is that the companies that have switched from Huawei for 5G have chosen even less secure and easy to hack software.

Well it’s either Huawui hardware with built in back doors for Chinese state hackers to have guaranteed access or other hardware that might be less secure in general but lack the Chinese back door.

So they could actually be more secure from Chinese hacking but maybe less secure from random black hats?
