the video is based on a hardened version of Android run on a device with no vulnerabilities or backdoors, and there's nothing in it that shows Android as superior to hardened Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, etc. -- it's also important to note that the userspace permission system on Android, unless variants like GrapheneOS have massively improved this, is extremely underwhelming in terms of restricting access to your files since it doesn't let you grant access on a file-by-file basis
