Because why would you trust an operating system of which the companies CEO says that security hardening is only for criminals and spies?
Besides doing many other shady things, like putting a proxy between their App Louge and F-Droid (cleanapk.org), while simultaneously not wanting to reveal who owns/controls that proxy? Remember that Android relies on trust on first use. Or running Google proprietary DroidGuard blobs in a privileged process for Play Integrity/SafetyNet? Or giving certain Google Apps elevated privileges when you install them?
I could go on for a while.
(I made the mistake of installing /e/OS on a phone once and then started poking around and it really has many security issues, questionable choices, etc.)
Well I am genuinely interested so I am all for continuing that discussions in details. I am happy to finally meet someone who had a real look and isn't just repeating things read online. So if you have time to share the result of your investigation I'm super interested. But here is not the good place I imagine, where can we continue that discussion?
