I've seen some more sane discussion of this. SOCs these days have all sorts of things in them, and devices can even have the hardware to use them to simplify production and only be enabled on the more expensive models. Things also have comms links for diagnostic and firmware updates. The real threat is that so many devices have these potential backdoors, Chinese or not, or require a cloud connection. That's a recipe for unexpected failure.
