This is such a cop out response. They still need funding, and infrastructure, and to build up an entire customer base who presumably they would need to bribe with free service at a loss in order to attract anyone new.

Compromising on pentesting and security reviews is not in line with their original mission. Their customer base (including employees) knows this.
