Isn't security just an excuse to push user hostile features?

Like, if security was a concern we would have simpler systems and still use 2fa devices for banks etc.

They dont care about security; only about control.

There are hundreds of millions of outdated Android devices that all Google attestation systems consider secure even though they all running Linux kernel that was never ever updated and can be rooted by anything.

Now try to install your own firmware on them without said outdated kernel... How dare you.

It's not even "max security". We are talking about those big tech corps which are infamous for sharing all of your private information with the government, and analyzing it so as to manipulate you in to buying things, and possibly for other obscure commercial purpuses.
