Agree, I think when people talk about open source, they probably are referring to software rather than hardware
It’s good to have a hardware that can be verified (harder in practice), but I get your point.
Yeah there is certainly nuance. Everyone should just know the trade offs and decide for themselves. Maybe some people think open source software on closed source hardware is a good trade off for their situation, probably better for people with smaller stacks and/or fear close monitoring where assembling from nondescript not Bitcoin specific hardware is helpful.
