If you don't trust the vendor, then it makes no difference whether or not new official firmware/microcode can be uploaded/flashed or not.

But we also cannot have much confidence in a piece of hardware with non-flashable firmware of which we don't have the vhdl/verilog sources. So what is the difference?This is an old argument that didn't work for people holding this opinion before and do I wouldn't expect it to work now. I don't expect that people's opinions on this matter can be changed.
