The average person doesn’t worry about changing their locks each time they suspect a break in. For them, knowing if they have concerns, it’s a good idea to change locks is news.
The Thunderbolt attacks, ELI5 version Attack 1: if you break into my house, you can change my lock so it accepts a master key so you can come in later. Attack 2: if you break into my friend's house, and he has my keys, you can copy them and go into my house. Duh?

Attack 3: if you get my iPhone 11 you can’t do shit because it has a fit security model. Why would it expect less from my computer?

I feel like the biggest defenses on that are "omfg everything is so tiny how tf am I supposed to work on that" followed by "ffs, I need specialised equipment to open and re-close this device".
