This is why we plan to open the source code of UnaOS in the future.
Also, "open source" isn't all what's needed. Open protocols and the possibility to run your own servers, preferably in a federated way, are imo even more important.

Maybe this is what they mean with their statement and maybe not.

Hmm. USB-C? Fingerprint sensor?
An Android variant on which you cannot install anything rendering the device a dumb phone? In this case, why even bother with Android? Why not write a gui for BSD and run that instead? Oh, right, proprietary hardware drivers based on closed sores, the same issue Jolla has.
A locked bootloader so that you cannot remedy your mistake purchase and at least have a device you can play games on or use as car navigation?
Why the heck would anyone spend money on this unless they have no idea what real security is and want to feel good about their ignorance?
This is either brilliant marketing or a statement on how dumb most users are.

So what secure phone do you propose?
And don't write that security is not possible on a phone due to sim etc. - we all know that, we know about the closed source blobs, insecurity bla bla bla. We live in a world in which a phone is a standard tool so the bottom linen is:
What is your security pick?

An amnesiac phone? Re-importing your contacts, reinstalling all applications, losing message history etc. etc., every time you boot doesn't sound like fun to me...
I'll stick with 'secure-ish' I think

Probably more a sign of the times than of hypocrisy, but still amusing if you're easily amused...
https://unaos.com/
For me this looks like this company is planning some serious system administration work on Android. About time?
Networks and system integrators still get paid for selling just "another Windows" computer with enhanced security customization.
Why not pay for enhanced security if the job is well done?
Just out of interest, could the security experts here confirm that with a budget of ~USD 250 they can make any random Android phone secure on all levels this one Unaos claims to be secure? Short list of tools to install?
Not being into Android, I would possibly buy this if it does mostly everything I need out of the box. For that reason I still like my Symbian and my Maemo.
Edit: type error question : why not
