There are plenty of physical appliances you can modify how ever you want because it's really only your business. Installing the software of your choice on a phone is like that. It's not something like a car sharing a public road and polluting the air.

A compromised phone could be used in a botnet, and might even cripple the cellular infrastructure itself with a DDoS attack.

  • And if I compromise your Apple Watch, I can reprogram the baseband firmware into a radio jammer! We can never allow arbitrary code execution on that device for the safety of the public!

    I think your lack of reasonable example speaks for itself.
