I’ve read that open hardware is not as important as some claim — I did buy a pinephone and occasionally play with it (and I am very grateful to the small but enthusiastic community around it), but it having stale firmware which never gets updated doesn’t sound good.

Also, hardware kill switches are useless — if you can’t trust the software to not listen to you than all is lost. Also, sound can be recorded through the motion sensors as well. And my all around point: Linux’s user space’s security is a joke. If it ever wants to grow out of the niche of 5 tech enthusiast, something should be done.
