FWIW the Pixel 8, the newest device offering Advanced Memory Protection, sells for less than $600 brand new right now. You can tune memory tagging & hardened memory allocation on a per-app basis. It's a game changer

You are saying that as if it was cheap. I am pretty sure most people buy <$250 smartphones. That is at least the case in my social circle, very few iphones, pixel, an awful lot of cheap Xiaomi Redmi and the Samsung Galaxies are usually the A line instead of the S line.
If someone uses Xiaomi they probably also don't worry about privacy.
At least it is possible (really annoying process) to unlock the bootloader on Xiaomi devices.
