That explains perfectly why they do it in China.

It does not explain why they do it in HK.

HK is not China.

And if the GFW comes to HK and your phone doesn't work any more, how you gonna get an update with this after it happens?

This sort of large and noisy canary is exactly what the world needs more of. How many more people will scream and protest if their phone stops working due to China's actions, vs the vague and abstract cause of "Privacy"? It will also direct their wraith at the correct target.
