 I mean, it isn't always an answer...

1. You can say "just don't use an iPhone", but people with iPhones deserve accessibility to permissionless Bitcoin.
2. Lockdown mode is for extra privacy, marketed towards people who think they might become a target, or those who are whistleblowers. The very people who are incorrectly criminalised.

It's just interesting, Mutiny got us this far, but if it can get as far as Lockdown mode, that would be amazing, and yet it also still feels like a cat and mouse game, a bandaid over a bigger picture problem we should be addressing hollistically in the market.

 btw, if you already have a native app how complicated will it be to not use web stack. I assume the heavy lifting is done with something like rust anyway
