State actors and the EU are not reliable actors insofar as security that goes beyond their own needs is concerned. They will put backdoors and key escrow into the systems. That's the real problem with an open platform, whether it's about hardware or about software. To get enough funding, support, and manpower an open secure platform initiative would have to get entangled with global players that simply do not have the ultimate privacy and security of all citizens in mind. It's primarily a political issue.
