Key word here: "arguably", meaning "can be argued indefinitely", and
loosely translates to "drop this argument - it's pointless."

All I can say here is that I've suggested to my clients that they do NOT
use the "WAN card in a FBSD box from certain companies" solution, due
to my experience on these lists...  Keep in mind that a lot of the 
"few lines of altered code" here and there are what keep your
clients' networks safe.  I couldn't care less about your advertising
budget if some script kiddie got in and tap-danced all over my database
server due to an un-fixed bug in telnetd.

Spending dollars is good, but not pissing off potential clients by
insulting people is better.
