I don’t see what any of that has to do with my issues regarding the new model. Yeah, I’m interested in their OS and the hardware switches for better privacy control, but I’m not hardcore enough that I’ll ignore my other hardware preferences in order to have them.

I’m just not anywhere near important enough a person to need more protection than I already achieve via the official privacy options combined with a VPN blocking most of the more obnoxious stuff. The additional privacy they’re offering is “nice to have” for me, not a “must have.”
