I'm not claiming they don't. I'm pointing out the absurdity of calling somebody out for not doing the impossible.
I didn't say "prove", I used another word with bigger allowance. Of "likely backdoors vs likely not" kind. I wanted to say that their "public" conflicts with governments and their statements of the "trust us, we won't sell you" kind are all worth nothing, because being caught lying won't cost them anything.
What WOULD you consider evidence of them not having backdoors, then?
