Nortel's campus was full of listening devices https://www.infosecurity-magazine.com/news/was-nortels-ottaw...
How do you compare unlocking a phone for someone who bough it to stealing one's personal information? They're not similar in any way.
"The current system where every user is a network node is not the intended configuration for large scale. That would be like every Usenet user runs their own NNTP server. The design supports letting users just be users. The more burden it is to run a node, the fewer nodes there will be. Those few nodes will be big server farms. The rest will be client nodes that only do transactions and don't generate." - Satoshi Nakamoto

You're not wrong. They currently get the block reward and the transaction fees. When there's no more reward to be had they will get just the transaction fees.

"Again, the main function of a bitcoin exchange is to get its bitcoins stolen..."
