Actual Summary: Huawei might be on top of their network / endpoint security, it’s unclear—though for customers, at least outside of China, they seem to either take 6 months to patch or patch no more often than every 6 months. This leaves a large gap during which all kinds of shenanigans could occur.
Other vendors don’t seem to have their security acts together any better than Huawei, potentially less so, though unlike that company other vendors allow the companies using their products and services to patch customer-managed systems themselves.
Not sure how that translates to / relates to Huawei dominating in 8 or more years.

It doesn't. There is no reason for anyone to think that

Considering that company's hardware is being outright banned by many countries, and with the US limiting chip exports to China, I don't see how they don't get relegated to a Chinese domestic brand in that timeframe.

The fact is, the market is always pushing for faster delivery. It makes for poor security. Huwai do very good ASIC LUA for networks (in my experience, they are the only one to do ASIC for self discovery telemetric purposes). But they are really not good for security. And that's not even taking into account the fact they could let backdoor for their government, of course.
