The threat models aren't secret algorithms, they're apps reading the contents of the screen, stealing keystrokes, MITM attacks against 2FA, and much more.

Apple, Google and Microsoft created that problem.

I don't have this problem on my computers, they run free software. My wifes thinkpad runs free software. The friends I gave a computer with various GNU+Linux distros don't have this problem.

Add Google Chrome with its spammy extensions to the mix and they start getting problems.
