No, Management completely understands.

Closed source software/hardware is a data exfiltration device first, and the thing they're sold for secondarily.

TVs, Blurays, set top boxes, MS Windows.. All of them are the same.

Selling devices to consumers is a solved problem. The problem we're currently trying optimise solutions for is selling consumers to the advertising companies.
