>Last, but not least, to prevent tampering, Titan M is built with insider attack resistance. The firmware on Titan M will never be updated unless you have entered your passcode, meaning bad actors cannot bypass your lock screen to update the firmware to a malicious version.

very explicit threat-modeling with the FBI in mind

Why does this matter when a google device sends all information home and can be requested by the FBI with a sweeping gag order warrant? Seems like more security theater to me.

I did not say that was may thread model. And yes its not very reassuring but it is still important.
