Somu is the micro version of Solo [2]. We were inspired to make a secure Tomu [3], so we took its tiny form factor, we added the secure microcontroller and firmware of Solo, et voilà! Here we have Somu.

The whole "we have to avoid GPL3 code so we're able to keep 'normal' people 'safe'" angle feels pretty icky. But I know lots of people believe in the whole 'trusted' movement. And I suppose having a 'hacker' version /available/ is at least a bit better than what yubico offers.
Is there a USB-C/Thunderbolt-3 version?
Hmm, that $100K stretch goal is pretty much required for me to be able to use this instead of a yubikey. I wonder how likely it is to be met?

Why use silicone instead of an epoxy case?
For Solo we had silicone cases and decided to stay with the same manufacturer.

IIRC Chromium OS has a little washer that can be physically removed to allow end-user rekeying. Without that washer removed, if you put it in dev mode, you get a warning on the display. Doing this for a reasonable price in the tiny form factor would be tough.
