Feds is not an attack vector that concerns me. My coworkers or kids changing my wallpaper or getting access to my kit is.

I do. Only for leisure. And I take a Pixel 6A running LineageOS when I do which has nothing sensitive on it.

That's really mostly so that I don't lose my iPhone which I actually care about.

OK, but most people don't use burner laptops /phones and are often subjected to unreasonable searches at the border by federal agents during entry at international airports, etc.

If you're traveling a lot and not using a burner laptop, well...
