So a Unity owned bloatware company being used by Samsung is now somehow controversial because it was founded in Israel? Am i reading this right?

you probably need to throw away your phone. or something. because never mind of it apple/qualcomm/android/etc - one of R&D centers that all companies have in Israel developed part of it.

For what? That all major companies have r&d center (or few) in Israel?

Nvidia for example tripples size of one of the offices now (out of seven i think) and builds new campus in different city
