Author here :) glad this sparked some discussion. A few folks raised the geographic scope and consumer RF side, which are fair things to flag. I tried to cover automotive, 5G, and IoT in the piece, though looking back at this, I could've framed the opening more clearly, as it was more a gut feeling specific to my US aerospace / defense experience rather than a universal claim. That context should've been clearer from the start. Still learning/new to writing more publicly so knowing where the framing didn't land is super helpful for me going forward

Thanks for writing this, I've had a similar experience

Since you mentioned pySDR: `sdr` is a newer Python library I like https://github.com/mhostetter/sdr

Since you're here, to calibrate my LLM detector, it'd be great if you could say whether or not you used an LLM to write parts of the article.

"But here's the thing that gets missed in the narrative:"

That's a pretty big clue that it is LLM assisted at least. That said, I don't mind. The article has substance and other than a few LLM markers like that, I think it's well-written.
