Yes, but automatic or manual? If automatic, what exactly was the trigger?

I'd have been tempted to explore this further - does sending fake or repeated telemetry satisfy it?

OT, but anything automatic was manually and intentionally implemented at some point

But is it malicious or innocuous? I could see just the assumption being made that if it hasn’t phoned home it must be malfunctioning and ask risk mitigation then force it to brick. It’s not super unreasonable considering very few people will ever block the comms.

How is that reasonable? What about loss of network access makes vacuuming less safe?
