Look, I have root, so you can hack me! And my bootloader is wide open, too! In your words:

I'm serious that anyone should feel free to prove the point by sending me a responsible disclosure notice about having found a way in, but the threat clearly isn't serious enough for that to actually be concretely possible. Which is not to say that it's never relevant, but "such a device shouldn't be used" is not valid as a blanket statement
