Since their HQ is in Russia is no one else concerned that their IDE may be subject to Russian spying?

I mean, I'm currently reading the book Sandworm. And it is known in the cybersecurity world that Russia coerces or intimidates companies and devs to work for them as spies.

It says on jetbrains.com that their HQ is in Prague, Czech Republic. On wikipedia it says they're a Czech company with headquarters in Prague, Czech Republic.

edit: Looks like they're maybe not entirely transparent about that.

You can find all locations at the website [1], there are Russian cities among them. I believe it's pretty much transparent.

Their headquarter is in Prague, Czechia and that's part of the European Union.

Which is, undoubtedly, so much worse than the spying by US companies?
