There has been a few controversies so here is the TLDR:

Rustdesk public relays have been caught using Chinese servers
The Rustdesk app is highly privileged for little reason. They abused this privilege to switch Wayland users to X silently
very little is known about the Rustdesk "team" if there even is one. There is a single github user called "rustdesk" and the personalities on the Rustdesk website appear to be fake.
Rustdesk says they are from Singapore but there are multiple leads that point to them being Chinese
They straight up delete any issue or discussion that questions the supposed Rustdesk "team"

That's just the summary that I know. You can find more information by looking up Rustdesk controversy or is Rustdesk a scam.
