"It's easy to use..."

I agree that the initial step is really hard. I only know enthusiasts who can overcome the initial hurdle of downloading a secure ISO and setting up an air-gapped device. You mentioned "coldcard dice users"; I think you can count on PGP users too, and not much more — just better hygiene and habits during the initial setup.

It's incredible to think that an industry which lost 10 trillion in capital last year has such poor security practices, and it's even worse when common users have such poor setups on their devices. It's uncommon to acquire a secure device such as a Yubikey or Nitrokey, and setting up a Graphene OS phone is very niche for the general user base.

I think we can do better, as demonstrated by the Foundation devices. Perhaps you could create a visually appealing, user-friendly app for their devices. I cannot think of any other device that is both highly secure and user-friendly.
