It wont be a backdoor unless you leave your router wide open as well. Still, passwd doesnt work?

If you run them at home, yes.

If you run them in ANY data centre, all your Bitmain hardware is accessible and changeable by anyone else who has access to or has hardware in the same data centre.
They don't even need to login to it, they can just send API commands to it and it will accept ANY API command since they configure them to do that (even after years of me pointing out that they shouldn't)

You can set it up safely in a DC, my kit runs through a firewall that NAT's out to the internet in the datacentre. The miners are not on the datacentres network switch fabric directly. Not that I have S7's in my rack but even if they were they would be as safe as if they were in a DMZ at home.

Yeah but most people hosting are just sending equipment to a hosting provider and letting them do all of the work, that's where the problem comes in. Its a bit different when you set it up yourself

Well I sent mine to a hosting provider, but I sent them the firewall and told them what to do
