Have you been paying attention? People are glitching chips now to read private keys out of hardware wallets and to bypass secure boot signature checks. And if that's not possible, then you chip the device and bypass its primary boot loader. Even with the rise of strong crypto people still find weaknesses. Your assertion about strong crypto defeating man's ability to break software simply isn't true. You must be from the thin period of history around 2008 for about 10 years where pwning your device had been predominately done in software.
Regardless, you certainly have a warped perception of security. My OS not behaving as it should because someone forgot to remove a pointer from a ring buffer after its data was freed thus allowing malware to compromise my hardware and my personal information--possibly my livelihood--just so you can jailbreak your phone easier is so insanely idiotic it's beyond me. The right solution, if you care about owning your hardware, is to buy a device where you're allowed to replace the secure-boot keys with your own so that you can participate in the advances in security that we've made over time. Or pass a law that requires companies that sell hardware to provide boot loader unlock keys similar to what we did with SIM cards.
Also, java has been used for embedded, real-time, and system level stuff. The Android system notably, ran Java when it was born. And likely so does your bank card.
There are ways to have secure programming languages and secure boot and also own your hardware without yelling at the clouds and wishing them rain 2008 back down on you...
