I'm 100% with you.

Well, not only. Actually, for instance, there is also firmware in wifi card, touchpad, keyboard, eDP, USB-C, charge controller. Which is anyway probably less than in any other, similar product on the market.

Whether this firmware is a viable attack surface is a debatable thing of course. And we'll probably never know for sure. Like with this modified chinese northbridge firmware that was loaded into many server motherboards.
