Real world and lab conditions are different.

Given how high stakes somethings can be, nothing would surprise me.

I can imagine lots of plausible/implausible things. If they’re not practically possible, I’m not gonna worry about them.
Oh for sure, you aren't a high value target.

Its why people don't worry about Apple and Privacy/Security. They arent the best in the business, but unless you are a VIP, no one is going to waste the latest 0click pegasus exploit on you.

Developing a 0 click exploit is a lot easier than recovering useful data from a small, physically damaged chip of a hard drive platter.
You would need a lab in the real world to do this recovery, if it is possible.
