About not being so knowledgeable about security, he says:

"There's the attack surface, on that front we're not security specialists here, so I couldn't answer you precisely, but from the discussions I've had, it seems that everything we do reduces attack surface."

I won't go into details on the security side, but all the /e/OS systems I have seen don't properly relock the bootloader, meaning that they spoil the Android security model. This doesn't count as "everything we do reduces attack surface" in my book.

About his saying that security hardening is for pedophiles:

"However, we don't have a "hardened security" approach, we aren't developing a phone for pedo(censored) so they can evade justice."
