coldcard has it's own issues too. no one is exempt. Yours just happens to be an obvious offender.
Issues like selling fake wallets (aka card wallets), not being open source or not honoring bug bounties you mean?
Sure, if you'd just be honest about these. But I don't see you critizing any of those everytime someone brings up coldcard.

all potentially valid points.
But at least they don't promote shitcoins or enable users to buy it within a companion app.
You can't say the same.

Okay, so we're now at the point where your only beef with the BitBox02 is that it has a multi-edition. I'm happy to address that:
Be surprised, I see your point. I wish we didn't have to make one. Unfortunately it's simply the case that beginners won't buy a hardware wallet that only holds bitcoin. I've been there too, and that's why my first wallet was a ledger! Should we leave these people with a closed source shitcoin wallet?
We don't promote the use of shitcoins, we actually keep it quite to a minimum, only supporting the top ~5 coins on the multi. There's no in-app trading, no swaps, no liquidity mining, no yield farming no staking in the BitBoxApp.
One could make the argument that shitcoiners pay for the development of the bitcoin-only edition, as far less than 50% of our time is spent on the multi-edition.

not the only beef. but it is the most obvious and glaring.
lots of beginners already buy Bitcoin only hardware wallets, and should.
You do have in app support for buying shitcoins.

Again, doesn't absolve you. you don't get to have it both ways.
