Perhaps the ostrich is anyone who thinks their life is not online these
days.

Go to the doctor? Your very personal info is online and available to the
office staff, the computer service techs, the billing company, the
insurance company, and of course hackers. Pay taxes? All online and
available to many (honest?) government employees. Own a home? Here (AZ
US) hackers are selling them without the owners knowledge using online
government title info. Retired? My info is online for both my state and
fed retirement accounts both of which are direct deposited into my
online bank account. Likewise most of my investments. I could fill a
couple of more paragraphs about folks living online these days but I
think even an ostrich would get my point.

So I don't think living on my phone as I do adds that much to the
danger. My sensitive apps require 2 passwords (phone entry and app
password) so I am not too worried about unauthorized access if lost. All
I need is a couple of hours to get home and change things. Less if the
wife is nearby with her phone.

And of course if you think keeping your sensitive stuff only on your
home computers keeps you safe then you should talk to my neighbor who
lost all his electronics in a burglary...
