Bad example.
I was there in 2010, and during the Snowden scandal, and I have a laptop running libreboot. We thought back then than the ME could have a backdoor even without vPro, just because if could have undocumented access to the network (it has higher than ring 0 access to the CPU, after all).

I also remember a lot of talk around that time about spying capabilities with those Israeli designed Intel chips with the management engine, and still haven’t really seen a proper takedown of what is claimed here to be fearmongering? Certainly seems like a capability the people Snowden exposed would have been interested in.
