This is why he hasn't done it yet. Everybody in the US with money at stake called him and told him it was a stupid idea.
It's not necessarily any better on Windows. I've worked with Qualcomm based laptops that wouldn't work without a bespoke Windows image from the manufacturer. I also had one where the "generic" ARM Windows image wouldn't work with it even though it should've and the manufacturer never provided a bespoke image.

Seems a lot safer to me than using my login credentials on a potentially unsafe device.
