I cannot confirm nor deny this, but the fact remains that Deloreans still exist today. And I do not recall ever hearing any stories about rust. Which, given its infamy, one would think would have been part of the lore by now if it was a thing.

I think there's something to the sitting idle angle. My launch joycons started getting drift 4-5 years ago. I did the usual clean out, then cut some plastic to put more pressure on the stick back plate and they were surprisingly fine. Two years ago I picked up an OLED, and my primary switch got very little handheld use after that.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when I grabbed my launch switch to upgrade the firmware and run some tests. The sticks were basically unusable. I have a couple sets of Hall effect sticks laying around, I guess now is as good a time as any to put them to use.
I grew up constantly surrounded by the latter and knew when I smelled the former that the adults were about to act like idiots. I think I'd rather lose my sense of smell than have to endure either consistently.
And just look at all those anchor babies.
My main is down, yo.
Yeah I did a wee bit of cheating and just started looking at kits on dalong, but I had only gotten through HGs before getting distracted. The HG Jegan caught my eye, but didn't match the proportions in the pic so I kept scrolling. The leg armor angles/flaring also scream Zaku/Gouf, so I was looking at Build kits as well.
Either way, it's always fun to play guess the pieces.
The problem is that there are people behind the scenes goose-stepping on regardless.
The good news is that the mic is a piece of cake (relatively speaking, as someone who has tinkered with electronics before) to disconnect. Will it throw any errors/refuse to boot? Dunno, haven't seen that attempted yet.
Fascism 101.
This is the sort of thing that could be actionable, in criminal or civil court.
The rich:
I recommend picking up a few MG SP-00-N kits specifically for testing paints etc.
