They would remove them regardless of known compromise, because they have no way to verify it in-house and it’s the simplest PR and legal strategy.

Verifying it in house is extremely easy once someone else has already done the hard work of identifying the existence of the implants in the first place.
Any random person who can play spot-the-difference with two different pictures and is armed with a hammer could verify it in 15 minutes.
They don't even have to be technical or understand what the chips do or how the technical aspects of the compromise work, a raw visual check is all you need.
