I don’t understand your comparison with walkie talkies. What are you trying to highlight here? In the case of the pager attack in Lebanon the devices were booby-trapped. Are you trying to say that the device designers should have somehow done something about it? I cannot really make sense of it

My point is that the business of pagers is rarely seen as something likely to be booby trapped by a nation state. Yet in the context of Lebanon it happened.

I don't remember where the compromise happened (factory, distribution, sell point), but very clearly at least one of them did not expect to be a critical asset in the Israel - Lebanon war.
