What if the phone is fully compromised?

What about it?

If your threat model is "People fully compromised my phone" then you should definitely not rely on the phone in the face of that.

Is there any realistic scenario that protects against a fully compromised phone/computer?
I mean yeah, if you use 2FA and both phone and computer are just one factor on their own, then a compromised phone does not matter. So my question is, how about the mentioned scenario - to me it seems that just compromising the phone would compromise the whole, but maybe I misunderstood.
