They should have been fully open source with full linux support and parity since day one.

That would actually help the language get traction. At this point it's a dying language.

I mean, if this is the case, and their users aren't aware. If the users are aware, and want to run nordvpn equivalents of tor exit nodes, then I don't see a problem.

> That reads like they're wheel-reinventing Tor, and one fears they'd use other users' computers as exit nodes.

Why the fear? That would probably improve overall access to privacy/anonymity, and I would assume NordVPN would take any legal heat over this, not their users.
