How much worse are the bad ones than the others?

TIL, any recommended reading on this?

I don't remember WiFi or CPU backdoors in Snowden, ShadowBrokers, or Intel 2020. Unless by "backdoor" you just mean NSA holds zero days on various important technologies, which is reasonably likely given EternalBlue. Is that what you mean?

Can you provide some evidence for these claims?

can know what -- that there isn't a backdoor? I can look at Linux source all day and not find the answer to that.

How are consumers harmed by Google presenting extracted data in an infobox? Isn't it more convenient?

A similar idea is Mario, for Python code in shell pipelines. Its most novel feature is (optional) async commands, so you can pipe in a list of urls, make many concurrent requests, and then process them in a single line.
cat urls.txt | mario async-map 'await asks.get ! x.json()' apply len
Nushell also seems cool, it's somewhat similar to Powershell. https://github.com/nushell/nushell
