With Pokemon yeah basically

Anything kernel level can theoretically modify anything in your TPM too, so Linux programs that use it (admittedly I'm not sure any user program use it) could be manipulated in weird ways

Hopefully we can still get some traction going against Vanguard, Windows users haven't been the greatest fans of the system on Valorant, maybe with enough voices riot will think twice about it? We still have a few possible outs though, Vanguard is not gonna be enabled on the macOS version, so either we can convince riot that Linux is as big of a platform as macOS or we can hope for Darling to get to the point where we can play games with it.

That's a very old post but yeah, it is, so is Ghidra (a retro-engineering tool). A lot of people have had the exact same argument of "the NSA made it, it has to be evil!" but lots of security people dissected the code (the fact that it was made by the NSA probably made more people look through it in fact) and no backdoor has ever been found in years. It's safe to use.
