Every project that says it's "secure" is already a complete joke in itself. The multi billion companies who say that about themselves, can't even uphold that statement despite their infinite resources. "Secure" isn't a property that anyone can claim, it's a property that only can be attributed looking back in time.

Reminds me of a Steve Jobs video where he talks about quality, and how the Japanese never use that as a qualifier in their advertisements. People don’t assume your product is quality because you tell them it is, they experience it or hear so through word of mouth.

Does Microsoft Windows ring a bell? The bloat and insecurity are features, Mr., this is capitalism. Thank you for your service.

But this works for everyone.

Then at some point you have to prevent the users from harming themselves - and devices get locked in walled gardens; and that arguably works for everyone too.

There are exceptions, kudos to the EU for working to protect user rights. This software postmodernism will go only as far as we allow it.
