100% agree with you, for who I am and what I do I know that I need a device that is as tamper resistant as possible with the smallest attack surface feasible. That goes for remote execution as much as the evil maid scenario. But this is entirely catered to my threat model and risk tolerance. And sure there is the possibility of the rubber hose cryptanalysis but that doesn't mean we should give up on securing as much as possible on the device side. It's the swiss cheese model and we're plugging a hole at a time lol
I advocate for everybody to use as secure a device as practical, and for these mitigations to be the default, but I'm fundamentally speaking for myself in this thread with my stance on fairphone and /e/OS right now. I want to support repairability and ethical supply chains too without compromising on my more core tech needs
