The future of Librem 5 looks bleak

That depends whether it can run the apps I need.

Understandable, though Waydroid may provide a good solution to bridge the gap.

Wow …that’s a hefty.

After seeing the kill switches he said this is for paranoid people.

It’s not like anyone needs to toggle them off if they don’t want to. It does provide peace of mind for those that don’t want to have targeted ads (or worse). Plus, it’s not like you need to do something wrong/illegal to become a suspect either. I think it’s a pitfall many fall into that think these events are few and far between (they’re more common than people seem to think), and people move the goalpost saying that it would never happen to them, if they acknowledge the previous point.
