The problem is not that they have done it already, the problem is that they
COULD do it if they wanted.
I don't like sleeping with that uncertainty.
If you know what I mean.
As for the basis of why I think this way:

(best reference I have seen in this matter, clearly illustrates the idea)
Several talks by Jacob Appelbaum, he mentions the dangers of any piece of
proprietary code running inside your machine.
I think I saw a Replicant video some months ago that also mentioned the
dangers of any firmware running inside your machine. Can't find it now
though.
Look, my laptop doesn't even support Coreboot, so I am not saying that I am
in a better position. I am just saying that I would like to be in a better
position! And I don't feel that the "RYF Award" actually puts me in that
better position. Brings me close, but it is not enough.
