The security products industry has a long and storied history of using national security folks in marketing or marketing-adjacent ways (putting them on boards to lend an air of legitimacy, etc). I don't doubt that such people know a lot about national security, but I don't think they know shit about computers, generally.

NSA and others employ thousands of people who actually are super good at computers. If this message was coming from those people--actual credible experts--I'd be a lot more interested. Instead, what it seems like is happening here is the same organizational brain rot that's happening everywhere. Out of touch leadership, a skewed information environment, and bad incentives align to produce utterly insane conclusions divorced from reality. In short, psychotic delusions.

This is, probably, just marketing noise. Nothing to worry about, except that the people spouting it have been psychologically compromised. So if their job function is essential, that's a problem.
