Why bother with a Debian respin (PureOS) other than for marketing their OS above Debian which is a silly claim. The issue with OEM security is not going to go away. That extra partition can hold as many tracking applications as OEMs want to write, all in inaccessible code. We have a better chance of getting a law against it the US, but worldwide the game is not winnable.

Very true security claims are often like fairy tales, and can make for some fun reading.
Biggest surprise recently I read of was windows 10 file sharing of users infos, wonder if the isp's will start capping them lol. It gave me the giggles when I read it thinking it would be so fun if when people boot windows it produces one of those screens from their ISP stating, "blocked for illegal file sharing". It would be legendary.
