Another instalment of HN thread where people try their best to pretend that "security" does not come with "enforced, ideally at hardware level, inability to run random code" for 99% of phone users.

Here a tip: you won't solve the problem of security by just whining about corporate interests (which is a real concern) and NOT proposing a better solution that works for an average tech illiterate, very socially engineerable person trained to ignore every warning screen. And no root switch is not that solution because it will be flipped on day 1.

I say let people shoot themselves in the foot if they want. That's the cost of a free society.

You expect random people like your baker next door to be security experts who can beat top notch hackers. It just doesn't work like that. Even you may not be as good as you think is required to protect yourself in the wild internets

Also many of them will be your family (if you have it). Maybe even those from whom you would have inherited something if only they were not hacked
