No doubt he has the respect of many in the industry, but after investing millions here to see this from conception being referred to as a cult, honestly I think that he is after clicks and wants to "appear" as a who's who.
I'm just a real person in life that believes what I put money in. For him to say a cult tells me that he wants us to justify his reporter status to make him feel important, just as many in the media think that it is about them.
Again why would a foundry using the PDK reveal it. That does not make business sense.
