On many systems like Raspberry Pi the <v5.6 kernel /dev/random or /dev/urandom lacked sufficient entropy to properly deploy wifi hostapd WPA2/WPA3 services.

Instead, people used haveged to workaround the issue. Not a conspiracy by some dude, but rather just more budget hardware limitations.

Don't worry about it, there are lots of real dubious things people do already. =3
