While they ditch Microsoft, Amazon and Oracle: we still use Linux, Sel4, ASML and ARM.
There's lots of interesting stuff to watch out for.

What's wrong in using Linux. It is an open source project with origins in Finland and still lead by a Fin.

What is wrong with using Linux?
Linus Torvalds is very pro–corporate, pro–tivoization, he thinks GPL3 was a terrible mistake.
Is he pro-tivoization, or is he not against it?
I heard him talk about GPLv3 someday, and what he said was that it was a mistake to call it "GPLv3", as if it was the evolution of GPLv2, because for him it should have been a totally different licence.
Which I find fair: there are different kinds of copyleft (like MPL vs GPL), it makes sense to say that GPLv2 is a different concept than GPLv3. Whereas I don't know if anyone should use GPLv1 because GPLv2 sounds like it fixed GPLv1 without changing its spirit.
Isn’t Sel4 Australian?
All of the things OP mentioned are non-US tech. I think the OP was speaking from a US perspective, though it’s not clear.
