Most security on consumer hardware
Let's take android for example. There are legitimate security implementations like SELinux, full disk encryption but something like samsung's knox is useless outside of enterprise use and kills OS level modifications
Knox is used by Samsung own functions. Your bank app only does a root check. Which can easily be hidden with Magisk. If you trip Knox, you lose the Samsung exclusive security features baked into the OS. That's it. Google Pay and USAA both complained about root access and refused to work with Magisk hiding off. With it on, they function as normal.
Integration into Knox requires enterprise device management and a custom app.
My understanding was that knox is only used for samsung pay, secure folder and similar samsung exclusive crap
I haven't owned a recent scamsus tho so idk
