I don't consider anything that's not open source usable for serious security.

Likewise, I don't consider the proliferation of proprietary secure elements to be usable for serious security.

On the other hand. Using closed source or secure elements in a government device may be acceptable.

Because there's an expectation that the government has the keys, and it's not actually your device or your privacy..๐Ÿ˜Š
