i’m not sure anyone who is at least semi-informed believes their devices to be hackproof.

it’s more likely they’ve considered which security issues they’re personally concerned about and decided the other choices are as bad or worse.

once we actually dig into the specifics of an issue–especially one as complicated as personal threat models combined with actual usability–it’s rarely a “my device is now unhackable” cartoon caricature.

I don’t think of my devices as being hack-proof, but as being the best set of trade-offs for me personally between security, privacy, usability, etc.

Agreed. I use Windows/Android for the same reason- I know what I'm giving up but the upsides are important enough to me. I am talking about people who don't have much clues about either.
