True, but it's still concerning. For example, I have a NAS with some long-term archives that I power on maybe once a month. Am I going to see SSD data loss from a usage pattern like that?

Any argument in this vein must also apply to the Mac. The hardware is mostly the same. The OS is mostly the same. The native apps and services are identical, as is the security story. So why should the Mac not be locked down if the iPhone
