A walled garden OS doesn't do much to stop the abusive/spying household member problem. They can just beat you up until your give them your password, or spy on you and catch you entering it.

But they can't compromise the device without the victim knowing about it. Not all abusive relationships are violent or even directly coercive like that.

It does plenty to help stop it.

So much so that in your attempt to find any toehold to criticize it, your comment had to resort to coming up with scenarios that go outside of the system and rely on human vulnerabilities.
