None of those scenarios matter to me:
- I can't prevent the police from pegasusing my device.
- I haven't have anyone infected by a malware in years, no matter the brand of device.
- Most thief won't be able to do anything with any of my devices, no matter the brand. They are not very smart, and can't deal with a bios password, an encrypted disk or even simply a locked smartphones. They steal it anyway, and throw it away when it fails.
But in the end, I don't optimize my life for the rare occasion of being stolen.
I optimize it for my day to day problems, like being able to use my machine to do what I want to do every day, without having to hope I'm allowed to do it by corporations.
I'm much more worried about the state of society that losing a phone once to a thief.
