From a practical standpoint it’s secure enough for me, and I value the fair sourcing of components and labor a lot more than the little I am losing on security.

I agree, that’s why I have a Fairphone. It’s a way to minimize that impact.

Plus their mission to try to make a phone with fair materials and compensation in their entire production chain. Is it perfect, of course not, but a lot better than all other brands.

That’s keeps the used price for pixels high, which encourages people to buy new pixels cause they know it has a good resale market.
