[FR] Please explain "Just keep your hands off Bigtreetech."

In the FAQ, it says:

Just keep your hands off Bigtreetech.

Can you please expand the FAQ to explain what is wrong with these drivers?

I'm about to install Bigtreetech drivers, and now I'm second-guessing that, but I don't even know what's wrong with them. Reviews are great, better than Fystech drivers.

The wiki says

I have had very bad experiences with BIGTREETECH/PoPprint, in which a driver of a package of 5 was often defective and short-circuited, so that the driver burned first and then the fuse on the board had to be replaced. In addition, these are often advertised as "V2" or "V3", which simply does not exist. The original versions of the TMC2208 SilentStepSticks are v1.0 (default Step/Dir version) or v1.2 (with UART support).
