Read up on private compute cloud, the transparency log and published binaries, the VRE, use of oHTTP proxies …

And then come back and tell me that there is anyone else going through such hoops (at not charge) to make sure they know nothing about you and you don’t need to trust them for the system to work

Gladly. There are cheaper products from competing companies going through more hoops to make sure you have cellular privacy and don't need to trust the OEM for the system to work.

Whitepapers are whitepapers. Apple had Push Notification whitepapers that insisted the data was private, look how that turned out. I don't care about their third-party auditors, I want transparency and I don't care who calls me crazy for it.

How did it turn out? Could you expand on or link to what you’re talking about?

It's not "the third party auditors", it is the scope of the audits that I don't trust. They pick the control "how long do you bake the chicken in the oven", and the report title cab be "enforcing harse conditions and conditions of stress in operations". And later some PR asshole will say "see the audit report summary? no failures to ourfite-proof processes!!!"
