Trezor are now a malicious entity who fund mass surveillance and blockchain analysis and collude with the government to censor their users. I wouldn't buy one of their devices if it was 100% off.
It seems that this is one of the stages of development of any company that produces such devices.

When a device manufacturer is just starting out, the firm is not of interest to governments. But as soon as the company grows, becomes large and gains influence in its markets, then the regulator remembers them. After all, this is a tasty morsel: by that time, the company manages to accumulate big data about users (although they claim that they don't do this). Governments will always find a way to get hardware wallet manufactures to share this information with them. It is naive to think that the regulator will miss such a good opportunity.

If privacy is needed, then it is better to use the devices of small companies until they come into the field of vision of big brother.

It's time for the crypto community to think about creating their own open source HW devices that can be assembled like a kit (hardware and software separately).

Discounts, of course, are good, but the changes pushed under this pretext don't bode well for users. Another big firm screwed up?
