It's a linux machine just like any other. Open and awesome! Your pinephone will be just as secure as your other Linux box because the same person maintains both of them 
.
IMO,
Operational security is the only security that matters because it can automatically adjust to any hardware / software combo on the fly for free.
My phone is secure when it's used by me. If I hand it to someone else there is no telling what they will do with it.
At least with the pinephone it's actually a challenge finding software that pillages your privacy like almost every single Android and IOS app available.
EVEN BETTER: I can write a bash script and not need some app store "app".
If there is some systemd process running and you don't like it then just kill and remove it. It's not like you have to root the thing, hahaha
Cheers!
