I think Ledger want to be the first oficial """"""aproved hardware wallet"""""" by the goverments/stablishment, i cant find another idea about what are they doing.

Because this seem very very similar at how it works the payment system on shops online when you paid with credit/debit card. You never give to the local where you are buying you credit card info, you send that information to a third party who say its OK or not and make the payment in conection with the bank and the commerce.

So i think this its very similar, they are making some lobby and making some new units of business with someone to be the first and only """"LEGAL"""" hardware wallet.
Trusted by some XXX third party companie who the goverment aproves and they are all friend between them.

And yes before you say, they sell their soul to the devil.
