Earlier quoted context omitted.

They incorrectly trade security for performance, in the days of money transactions in games, esports, and server dependencies.

I built a trampoline out of laptops, but I hurt my knee, I don’t know why Dell insists on making these dangerously sharp and hard trampoline parts.

It isn't really the same, but no worries, they will forced to adapt to the upcoming cybersegurity laws.

Just like someone can sue the maker of a trampoline made out of laptops when they cut themselves on them.

It depends on how the laws are written. Legislators are often wrong about tech.

But if you are saying Amazon and other cloud providers should be sued, I agree, companies that use parts not fit for the application they are going for should be sued out of business.

That said, the existence of the parts isn’t a problem and I hope manufacturers keep making high performance parts for those of us who don’t use them for crazy and inappropriate things. Manufacturers could be slapped on the wrist for selling their consumer chips as server chips, but I think this is less of a problem because anyone who falls for it is already a walking catastrophe.
