Because your opponent might not be the CIA and because your phone might not be compromised.

So in that case switching to something less secure will instantly make your problems worse.

Even if you are worried about them it still does not mean that you have been compromised. And if you do worry about them: don't use your phone (or any computer, for that matter) for sensitive stuff.
