How is that working out in China where Apple caved and gave the CCP control of the HSMs? Apple can and will cave to government pressures for enough money, and will not give technical consumers source code to verify if the privacy claims from yesterday are true today.
Every Apple device is one software update away from giving a full backdoor to anyone that asks Tim Cook nicely with an secret executive order, or simply as a favor for political points given he paid a million dollars just to be seen sitting next to a far right President on TV.
It is not ever okay to recommend people to submit themselves to power dynamics like that.
The only device someone can trust is one with community created and audited software. Software with accountability to the users.
