    An ESP32 is a powerful thing, but it is also a microcontroller.

    They are programmable as soon as you have physical access. They are NOT like whole PC’s that you can lock up with passwords etc.

    More like a gun that you can fire as soon as you have physical access.

    I wonder where the expectation has come from? People seem to think that it should be different than it is.

      That’s because the article that started the whole argument tried very hard to present an expected behavior for embedded chips as a security hole.
