I used to think the same. Around here I feel until a few years ago most people I knew with secret phones were people I would prefer to have fewer interactions with: people who frequently got into trouble, tried to scam others etc.

These days I’m more in the camp of layered security. Whatever I can do to make it harder for an attacker, the better.
