Yes, and phones are full of vulnerabilities because vendors provide security updates only for 2-5 years (high end being rare), thus making this a moot point.

The security measures do not need to be perfect. As long as fraud remains at a reasonable level it should be fine.

Agreed.

Full disk encryption on a device you have full control of is sufficient.

Containerization helps if you install untrusted apps.

Not having root helps if you install untrusted apps (either vulnerabilities/exploitable or malicious) as root.

Containers are not security.

Don't trust containers to have the same level of isolation as a VM.

Containers are for security, but they rely on the kernel+ being secure. VMs rely on the hypervisor+ being secure.
