Why would someone tamper a RPI? Usually most people don't really store anything important on a RPI, other than services like searx or whatever.

It's not a powerful device for hosting databases, it's not really used for storage, only for small things like a Kodi server and even that lags.

There are several industry grade devices based on raspberry pi platform, LOL. Not just media servers. Some people also deploy them outdoors to stuff like weather, ADS-B etc. Some make it into cubesats. Don't just underestimate its use cases.

It has many use cases, but they don't really need extreme security. Secure boot is not really needed for something that's always running (a server).

I think the final user or implementor must be a judge of that not us.
