Again, a wave of negativity rained down on Chivo's wallet.

It's not a single wave it's a constant storm with every possible problem happening.
Rather than the wallet "stealing" user funds it's more like every bug that could be happening happens and it ends up with users losing money to nowhere, and every fix brings up something else.
 

I guess this kind of news is being magnified by the detractors of Bukele and bitcoin,

I think that just the names of the websites show one what side they are.
If poeple who are into bitcoin for years and specifically travelled to Salvador for this are coming up with titles like this:

one might start to think that there is no conspiracy by the evil gubbermint and that actually the wallet sucks!

It was a rushed product that was ordered to be at the x date available and like every rushed product you find out months after the release about the bugs in it.

But let's look at the bright side, if poeple are losing money it's because they are using the wallet to buy coins, so at least we have poeple who want to buy BTC.

Can't imagine myself talking Salvador this often but yeah, Chivo WAS the problem before -- commented on it some time back, mainly because one had to question the multi-million dollar contract they got (I want to say won, but I don't think there was any bidding I could locate at the time).

We have easy, mature, solutions. But this was the one pushed down citizens' throats.

Like you said, though, I suppose if people really are buying BTC, least that's proof of concept (but really, did we need them to have a bad experience?).
