I don't have false beliefs and I am not making any claims. I am just asking questions. It is not misinformation to ask questions and explore the topic from different points of view.

It is still possible to reverse engineer future development of the code base? This means that the binaries of future developments are still auditable by the software engineering public?

CN & RU do this too. To make a super-app unavoidable, the governments would have to bind with the hardware, like a Clipper Chip. Approved devices would vary from country to country with official government + OEM (manufacturer) partnerships resembling what Google started by closing ASOP. China could to that easily. Device totalitarianism?

Pros of mobile over desktop/tablet/laptop form factor -->
Physical security of your primary cpu and disk is enhanced by the kind of portability you can always keep in your pocket. No evil maid attacks with your (convergence?) daily driver always in sight. No bad usb (rubber ducky) attacks or untrusted peripherals.
#SecureBoot protections only necessary realistically in very narrow circumstances like border crossings or seizures.
