That literally seems like it taps the microphone wire to record raw audio signals.
Brilliant, but not a software or hardware issue. (Although actually having the device brick itself if it is opened up would have prevented the bug from being inserted).
Likewise secure PIN pads are easily "defeated" by a camera.
Plenty of TPM devices are encased in epoxy and designed to self destruct if tampered with. And lots of modern day devices (iPhones, game consoles) have stood up to years of attempts to exfiltrate their secrets.
Work arounds are possible, but the industry has, for better or for worse, figured out how to make secure secret stores.
