The attack space here isn’t that big. It’s a flaw in the USB stack plus whatever weird stuff lightning does, then presumably some exploit into the SEP. You’d think for a locked iPhone the open SEP and USB attack surface would be very limited.

That may be. My point is that Apple has vastly more resources to deploy on this project than any of the other HSM manufacturers do. Their (continuing) failure here is an important data point.

I think it's an important point. I wish there was a way to distinguish internal Apple politics (you're only allowed to spend X on hardening the HSM) from more fundamental constraints on this design approach.
