Your phone still works fine. Those security patches not being installed means probably very little.

- buu700 5y agoThey mean quite a lot to me personally, but for the sake of argument let's assume you're talking about the "average person". Sure, on some level that's arguably not wrong. Most individuals are unlikely to be personally targeted by hackers, and even if so might have less to lose from a hack than the cost of a new phone. Even taking that for granted, I would suggest that it's in the interest of the federal government to use its regulatory power for the purpose of improving our national cybersecurity at scale. Letting millions of people continue to run unpatched devices because the alternative is prohibitively expensive is a disaster waiting to happen.
