Now that i know there are open-source secure element, why don't Ledger migrate from closed-source to open-source secure element? Do they find secure element they currently use is more secure than all open-source secure element?

Ledger is using ST31H320 and ST33J2M0 secure elements that are EAL6+ level of security but in combination with their normal STM32F042K chip overall security is downgraded back to EAL5+
Some Hardware like Ngrave are promising EAL7+ secure element, but as far as I know only ATECC608A is mostly open source and it can be found even in M5Stack Core2 ESP32 AWS Development Kit.
