Afaik simcards run a simplified version of Java that has full hardware access and can be updated remotely. I don’t see how it can possibly get any worse than that.

It doesn’t have full hardware access, it’s sandboxed.

I’m no expert in the matter, I learned it from a def con-like talk.

Well if it’s anything like the IME then you can disable it on a hardware level, and an OS wouldn’t have any control over it.
