Nothing in this flaw is a surprise considering Trezor does not even use a secure element (unlike Ledger).

It’s surprising considering how cheap SIM card chips are. It’s not hard to do secure elements these days, at least at scale.
Have SIM cards actually been tested against these vulnerabilities? The payoff per card cracked is much lower than with crypto wallets so maybe there’s just no point trying these attacks?
SIM cards are not secure either, you can glitch them. The ones in phones and credit cards, that is.
What makes you think the Ledger secure element provides any meaningful security?
