This problem has been known for years - even before that critical 
vulnerability (Intel-SA-00086) from 2017.
The article says "The Management Engine in Intel devices is disabled to 
the extent possible", whatever that means.  It does not say anything 
about AMD, and there is also no reference to any known problems with 
AMD's PSP.
Apart from that, the article is a sales pitch for Purism Products and is 
very much aimed at potential customers in the US.  "Made in USA" is also 
not exactly a badge of trust any more, although I'm not sure which 
alternatives could be considered better.
