Is the vendor always trustworthy? Think about vulnerabilities in e.g. router firmware from companies like Cisco and Juniper, which were undiscovered for a long time – and one can reasonably argue that these have been back-doors. Also Intel Chips include a lot of magic called "Intel Management Engine" (IME) or "Active Management Technology" [1].
