Baseband and cryptographic shenanigans are a pox to FLOSS/H. Particularly on the hardware front, since there is a vested interest/requirement for operating Telco's to maintain backdoor functionality/capabilities for the local government. It's just like payment processing. Everyone having their own stack is such a great sounding idea, but the Establishment/System is tuned such that it can never happen, and in the event it does, it's guaranteed to be dismantled because every ne'er- do-well will start exploiting it, and the vast majority of people are not interested in protecting themselves... They want someone else to do it for them. It's one of those nice things we just can't seem to get our shit straight enough as a society to have.
