I am interested to hear more opinion on excluding EMQ X as it has a Chinese origin is it fair to exclude for this reason? - EMQ X an OpenSource product available on GitHub with a mix of contributors? Would we exclude Vue JS when looking at JS frameworks for the same reason?

Maybe this is not relevant for all industries, but in our experience in manufacturing it is for most companies an immediate no-go. Because these companies are not interested in using the open-source variant, they want to partner up with the company behind it. And in the case of EMQ, this is additionally quite difficult to pinpoint with whom one will be conducting business with.
