>Privacy First

Yeah no. If I don't see source code then I'm not bitting.

Do you use Windows, macOS, iOS, Android? Have you seen the source code to any of these? And no, AOSP doesn't count. It's a fraction of the code running on consumer Android devices.

Don't get me wrong, I prefer open source solutions, but I'd more prefer a company focused on building privacy-first products and being able to fund themselves.

Their answer to this might simply be "no". There are people who just wont touch devices that are shipped with code / programs that don't respect the privacy of the user, unless installing free software to override the stock proprietary system is an option.

Have you seen Windows, macOS, iOS, Android advertising their privacy?

Yes.

Um, yep, I see macOS and iOS advertising that all the time, not only through their mainstream TV ads, but also in recent years like every time I upgrade one of my family's Apple devices.
