The "not worth it for companies to make one" argument doesn't make sense

It's the same thing as other devices they sell, just cheaper to make because some parts aren't used

There's plenty of demand from people who care about privacy, and meanwhile many niche devices are made for tiny numbers of people

One person removing the speakers from their phone only creates an anonymity set of 1, and the phone will have had time to collect data before the parts were removed - DIY is useless here, the point is to have a device on the market without these parts, to create an anonymity set

We don't have enough of a backbone to stop buying phones with built-in cameras and microphones

And you're suggesting we don't even have enough of a backbone to buy something without those parts, making it worthless for those companies - that's even further from us having a backbone
