Give the internet a search. It's not my job to convince you and if you spent any time caring you'd find it in the resource already given. If your take away is "falls slightly short" then your bias is showing and I don't care to engage further. My knowledge of these scammers go way further back than a medium article that summarizes some of it.
FWIW I engaged with the Obelisk team for a prospective hardware project collaboration after their failed miner project (unsure how much it was still going on, I was only involved in a technical capacity), and long before Foundation was founded. They clearly knew their way around embedded systems, which is the area where I started my own career many years earlier.
Today I own more than one of their Passport devices because it’s an excellent hardware wallet with a great UX. I also own multiple generations of Coldcard, which I used to consider the best but is now inferior by every measure.
Honesty and a positive attitude of the people behind the product is icing on the cake, especially since NVK started throwing tantrums about open source.

Heh, I did try searching but came up empty, and I’m not the one throwing around baseless accusations…
