"statistically doesn't happen" is not equivalent to "has never happened". It means the number of times it has happened is such a statistically insignificant % of the user base that it does not pass the smell test for being the reason to inconvenience every user.

That's nice. Now please evaluate the statistical utility of the CEO of an independent opposition-aligned media outlet, like Galina Timchenko, or journalist like Jamal Khashoggi, against an average phone user.

Perhaps a CEO of an independent opposition-aligned media outlet should be using more strict security measures far above what is necessary or even accessible to an average phone user.

Oh indeed, all journalists around the world should receive NSA training, then no regular user would ever suffer inconvenience to ensure their security: they would simply be cannon fodder for the police tracking their location around the clock and scammers vacuuming their contact info, no big deal.

The average user does not need the same level of device security and lock down as a CEO of an independent opposition-aligned media outlet. It's absurd that you seem to be arguing otherwise.
