Based on your stated assumptions about backdoors, how about building your own RISC-V phone?

It’s not in a very usable state, but the hardware is open source.

Sounds like you trust iOS sandboxing. I have my suspicions it’s not perfect, so how big of a deal it is depends on your threat model. If I’m on iOS I tend to manually enable the camera if I ever need it, and I also avoid using apps when possible.

If I needed to use an app daily that requires camera access, I might change my habit because that sounds like a lot of work.

First time I’ve heard of the idea of a separate land value tax… Frankly it seems like an awesome idea, especially for cities.

I imagine it would make dense housing more profitable than McMansions, and punish the NIMBYs who keep standing in the way of affordable housing. Maybe we could make the tax increase significantly with the number of properties an individual owns and start it at the highest rate for things like shell corps and LLCs.
