  > I've never had my data stolen off of my phone How would you know? In fact, you do not know this for certain. It is just wishful thinking. Marketing.

    You seem to be conflating exfiltrating data from cloud services that the phone syncs with (which many state actors probably do en masse), with exfiltrating data held only on the device itself (which is something that you'd only expect from people who actively care about your data, e.g. police looking for evidence after you've been arrested, criminal gangs who want your crypto-wallet keys, etc.) Modern phones are pretty good at stopping the latter class of attack; this is self-evident from the fact that this type of attacker is looking for specific things in order to use them in a timely manner (use the evidence against you at trial; drain your crypto wallet to spend the funds themselves before you can move the funds elsewhere), and yet we rarely see people reporting that someone made use of their exfiltrated data in this way. PCs are much more vulnerable to this type of attack. There are tons of computer viruses that steal your crypto wallet.
