You might very well want both E.g. You may want to protect end users against implants and other attacks from physical tampering with their terminals. You might not want hostile parties to have an easy time reverse engineering terminals so they can more easily search for remote vulnerabilities in the terminals. You may not want to hand hostile parties a phased array optimized to transmit to Starlink running arbitrary software of their choice, along with keys identifying the terminal, because even though you think the satellites and authentication mechanisms are robust, making it hard to get this information adds defense in depth.
