The conspiracy theorist in me tells me that their plan is:
1: force open source out of the market.
2: force all closed-source companies to install backdoors.
3: surveil everyone, all the time.
4, maybe: steal bit- and shitcoins at will (or at least block their use), from anyone they want.
Can't decide if they are evil masterminds with such a plan, or "highly regarded" and not knowing the first thing about the potential consequences of their actions. It's either or. Nothing in between.
