Disclosing suppliers implies existential possibility of a supplier that can be trusted. A user with heightened security needs understands that the only way to guarantee supplier trustworthiness is to personally be present at the factory.

A user with heightened security needs can diff received hardware with the reference (don’t trust; verify), or build their own phone to the spec.
