Fair enough - see my edit above. The only protection against dumb or clever shit is some means to verify SoCs are what they claim to be (yes very hard, but a future with Open source SoCs, and supply chains where you can inspect enough to be confident - that future can be glimpsed from here and it's a future where everyone wins)

That's only protection from clever shit. Dumb shit will have security vulnerabilities due to being made by programmers who don't care, pushed to do it faster by managers who don't care.
