The first rule of smartphone is absolutely no one else gets to use your phone. They don't even get to be alone in a room with it.

@SwiftOnSecurity Should be possible to make calls without being able to edit contacts, take photos without being able to browse or delete... -
@RichFelker@SwiftOnSecurity My phone (Cyanogen Mod) actually does the photo thing if it's locked. -
@korvys@SwiftOnSecurity But you end up unlocking to do anything useful. Unlock should be like root. You don't login as root all the time. -
@korvys@SwiftOnSecurity Basic functionality should be reachable with trivial pin/gesture from lock screen. Editing should need secure login -
@RichFelker@SwiftOnSecurity So, like, photos on the lock screen, unlock that to get to phone calls, unlock again to get to settings? -
@korvys@SwiftOnSecurity Roughly. But I mean you should be able to do all kinds of non-privileged everyday tasks without the second login. -
@RichFelker@SwiftOnSecurity Yeah, sorry, those were just examples. -
@RichFelker@SwiftOnSecurity I wonder if you could build a custom lock screen to do it (on android anyway)? - 3 more replies

That's because unlike developers, ordinary people don't know what root access is and don't care.
