I was wondering the same thing. Wasn’t clear on whether these backdoors are there on purpose or because of mistakes
Comment on Undocumented 'Backdoor' Found In Chinese Bluetooth Chip Used By a Billion Devices.

Is this some hardware flaw, or just something in their standard BT stack?

I love how the biggest problem with reddit was people not reading the article and asking in the comments instead.
Since you didn’t read, you can assume I did, so take what I’m about to say as factual, do not read the actual article yourself and make your own conclusion like a fucking adult:
It’s a flaw where attackers can manipulate the device’s internal clock to not only alter timestamps but also to send data packets into the past or future, effectively communicating with devices across different temporal planes.
By leveraging the chip’s quantum properties, malicious actors can entangle the Bluetooth signals of two separate devices, causing them to share data instantaneously without any direct connection.
The backdoor enables devices to phase in and out of different dimensions, allowing data to be stored in parallel universes, making retrieval nearly impossible for conventional security protocols.

Where in the article did it say that? Did you read the article?

Yes I indeed did read the article. It’s in the section regarding the sarcasm-ESP API
