You did a little work, avoided doing a lot more work, and justified it with "more components = better." Fine. Not the only approach but certainly not a radical one either.

You could have stopped there. My feeling is that you should have.

But the rant part of your post? Evoking HeartBleed and "I told you so" and Snowden and digs on BSD and "big transnational, and therefore law-less, companies." Well, that makes you look a little wacky.

By doing this you attracted unnecessary attention to yourself (perhaps the point) but also generated no positive goodwill for the product. Worse, it made me question the motivations behind the technology decision.

It's not a good tech post and it's not a good marketing post.

As I stated, there are people who do this sort of thing well. Your post is an example of not doing it well.
