Or the 79 cell phone models with no security in the first place. Lots of phones 10+ years ago didn't really bother.

Not really enough to go on here. Are these unlocked phones? Which models? I seem to recall that many old dumb phones had official, proprietary interfaces for downloading data off them.

Some companies are selling 0day for use in LE/Intelligence. Some large vendors might also work with them in the end.

It requires physical access to the device, which makes a lot of this information easy to obtain, especially at the time the catalog was created.
