This is clickbait. The author is using a version of the term backdoor, as in an action in a cryptographic system is undertaken on behalf of a user but without that users consent, but is clearly just irate at being associated with a cryptocurrency. This is an idempotent single action, less scary, even in a secure context.

The author clearly was just momentarily angry, used some exaggerated language knowing how it would read and is now trying to stand their ground.

Closest thing to a point I see them making is that generated wallets should include an option to be removed from the attestation list, or be deleted if not wanted to begin with.

Valid (if not slightly petty) user feedback maybe, "BACKDOOR IN SECURE APP ALERT ALERT" definitely not...
