If I wanted to poison update a bunch of developers who likely work at major US tech companies, this is exactly the type of software I would target for "purchase".
I actually have the perfect(?) solution to this ridiculous problem after it happened to me a couple of months ago.
Hit the Google Assistant button, ask it to turn on "TalkBack". Now you can browse the interface the same way someone blind would browse the interface. Plug in a USB keyboard.
From here you go to the Settings page and enable Developer Tools.
Just being a security engineer doesn't instill you with a defensive or paranoid mindset. I work with security analysts who use TAILS to browse random websites and security engineers who torrent cracked software and install whatever they find directly on their baremetal PC/laptop.
