The metaphor near the beginning of the article is a good summary: standardizing cars with seatbelts, but also cars without seatbelts.

Since ML-KEM is supported by the NSA, it should be assumed to have a NSA-known backdoor that they want to be used as much as possible: IETF standardization is a great opportunity for a long term social engineering operation, much like DES, Clipper, the more recent funny elliptic curve, etc.
