How does this brings additional security?
If Alice types a message in her phone and the phone is compromised -- such as the telecom owning the baseband processor which can access all of the device memory -- how does it guarantee that the text entered is not captured by the telecom?

That's risky for the attacker as they could be found out and possibly have their entry vector / zero day patched worldwide. It also has open source random number generators, another defence against a passive attacker and requiring them to have root on the device.
