That's a terrible idea. Apple knows that researchers are going through every bit of assembly code on the phone.
If all of a sudden they say "Hey we found some code that scans all your photos and sends information up to the cloud" how bad would that look? It's better to explain upfront rather than get found, because they will get found.

My lay understanding is that the SEP decrypts kernelspace on-demand, loads the opcodes on a very temporary (and randomly allocated) basis, and makes dumping any meaningful amount of the contents out of RAM very difficult. Not a jailbreaker at all, so happy to be completely wrong on this.
