Thankfully we can be reasonably sure that some compilers at least predate cryptocurrency.
Are there actually any keyloggers for iOS and Android? Unlike on desktop OSes, there isn’t even an API for that, so you’d need an actual OS exploit.

And how do you make sure that that doesn’t come with a keylogger (in a world where a significant number of people were to actually do that)?
Not necessarily, for instance 3rd party keyboards like Grammarly are keyloggers by their very nature. They grab your input, process it, and give output in terms of grammar corrections. And a rogue app update can absolutely do the same.

The same way you verify anything is what you want and stays that way, MD5/SHA256 hashes and airgaps.

How do you determine a given hash to be trustworthy? And how do you know you can trust your `sha256sum` implementation?
You're always trusting someone. Any security analysis pretending otherwise is worthless.
wow, what a practical way to be able to store and use money!
If you want “practical” and unsafe, then store all your crypto in hot wallets like Atomic, that sure ended up well.
