I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren't worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

Huawei has also been found to have back doors in their 5G towers. Now, I'm not saying western companies don't have back doors, but since I live in a western country (which has also likely suffered from political interference by China) I'd rather not be tracked by yet another nation more than I already am.

    There were numerous articles in 2020 and earlier talking about vulnerabilities in their products, including hard-coded encryption keys. Vehement denial isn't a good look with such flagrant and obvious failures. I have yet to see any announcements or articles saying this has changed. Until I do, I will assume Huawei doesn't have anything substantial to add to the discussion.
