Spoondoodles or whatever their name is has said they don't plan to mine, other than 24 hours of burn in testing which they donate to charity.
Any manufacturer that mines has an inherent conflict of interest with its customers especially when it can delay shipment (and keep mining for itself) without any real consequences.
Let's face facts here. Conflict or not, every manufacturer mines with their own equipment. This is no secret. I'm pretty sure even BitMain has a farm of some sort.
