That statement is true at one level, unfair at another level.

No one has found a way to completely turn off the Management Engine
(Intel's hardware back door).  The machine cannot boot without it.

People have found a way to disable the Management Engine
once it finishes booting, so that is what Purism does.

This is not entirely satisfactory, I agree.  But it isn't Purism's
fault.  People must make up their own minds about whether this
is good enough, but don't condemn Purism for it.
