You’re right. We need alternatives to these platforms. We have GrapheneOS and other projects which are helpful but ultimately we rely on a handful of hardware manufacturers that can be easily tapped by governments to put in backdoors at the hardware layer. It’s happened time and time again [1].
Ideally we’d lower the barrier to simple chip fabrication so we can build basic phones and laptops ourselves. Until then it’s impossible to secure our devices.
