There are two reasons to avoid a union:
- Fear of retaliation - Amazon et al.

A car mechanic buys some software from a company, internally it uses FOSS. Now they have to support the project? They might not even know it uses FOSS internally, I never read those licence things.
Doing it via taxation is probably the easiest option, but then it runs into the problem of country X paying for support, and country Y gets to freeload.
I think there is a much stronger argument for tech businesses being forced to finance and support FOSS. They are the ones directly benefiting from the free work.
Not a clue how to force that though, would probably need to be via some form of regulation. I can't think of any good way to do it without leaving gaping loopholes for abuse. :(

Wanna bet they expose SSH on port 22 to the internet on their "critical" servers? 🤣
Sure, but the author makes it sounds like thats its their standard way of doing things, which is insane.
And if you do have a misconfiguration, the rational thing is to fix that, not dump the entire platform.
If the hypervisor or any of its components are exposed to the Internet
Lemme stop you right there, wtf are you doing exposing that to the internet...

Based on the names alone, sanDISK kinda implies spinning disks, and western DIGITAL kinda seems like it should be for high tech ssds.
Does make sense the way they have done this though based on their actual reputation.
