The risk is the US sticking a logic bomb into a firmware update that physically breaks chips without regular updates that are signed by the US manufacturers CA.
Trust is important and frankly the US isnt very deserving of trust at the moment.
Edit; tbh id be surprised if something like this isn't already there for the purpose of guaranteed support contract money for each major component. Stop paying? Go find another component, shits bricked.
Gotta keep that MIC money flowing.
Can still swap out hardware. And firmware chips can be replaced.
