Phones are really not that hard to compromise from an encryption standpoint. All they need to do is break a pin most of the time. Also the pin is very predicable and probably can be pulled from a cloud service like google.

It is actually pretty horrifying to think about

Or, you know, don't use pins, use passwords

And use secure open source ROMs!

Yeah that might be harder already considering thst, you know, most phone providers don't give you that option
