So, it is not about ergonomics or any other argument, except for security in an undisputed altar. I disagree with the principle, but personal principles are not challengeable. We'll have to disagree.

Just keep in mind this principle is personal, not shared with you by everyone. For example, I distrust security by central organizations, like Signal.org. They're an amazing target for bad actors.

Correct: in this particular problem domain, safety is the overwhelming priority, just like we don't care about the UX framework or the open source-ness of radiotherapy machines.
You should care about opensourceness of personal medical devices like pacemakers and insuline pumps though. Precisely for safety concerns.
Haha this comment must be maximum HN. Hats off!
