Oh, I get your point.
I mean, in the extreme, yeah, malicious hardware can exfiltrate secrets. A hidden antenna, as you say—or more subtle attacks (e.g. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/1267336.1267341 https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/1267336.1267341, though this would require more than just the Secure Enclave to be malicious).
But yeah, I think for the ordinary consumer this is not a useful distinction. For vendors who are thinking about supply chain attacks, for sure this is a real consideration.
