Security and privacy are just like those 200 metres waterproof watches they were selling in the '80s. Most people who bought them hardly went deeper than their bathtub.
You buy the concept, and caring about the expensive details is a nice signal of affluence and self-esteem (I deserve this much security & privacy).
- nerfhammer 6y agotangent, but that 200M rated depth matters even if you don't go deep underwater because it's only rated for static pressure, i.e. when the device/water aren't moving. Thrashing your arm around underwater will create momentary pressures much greater than the static pressure of a few feet of water. The temporary pressure from a wave at the beach hitting you can easily ruin a 50M watch.
