I think that's a little extreme and there is a 3rd option that would be adequate for most people: using software on a normal non-airgapped computer that simply doesn't exfiltrate your data.

Most people do NOT need security from state level threat actors, they just need software that respects them, which of course no longer includes mainstream operating systems or applications, today.

There are plenty of exploits for all kinds of devices that can let an average hacker siphon off someone's data - and people often help them do it. There is no such thing as an internet connected device that will keep your data from prying eyes.

Yeah, I just don't want the wrong friend to accidentally see my dick. The state can look all it wants, if that's what its into.
