That's not what "Jobs" is about. It's the setting of a character-driven dramatization of Steve Job's life and his personality. You do not grow a company like Apple merely by dominating rooms with your personality, dropping oneliners and speaking in absolutes. There's a lot of actual work involved, the details of which would make for a movie rather boring to most audiences.
"Jobs" is a movie about Apple as much as "Inglourious Basterds" is a movie about the US military in WW2.
Interesting, I did not know this, but a little bit doubtful. Wouldn't it be the other way around? Explicit spoken language coming from being written that way.
Maybe at some point originally, but now you can't change it. Spoken language resists attempts to shape it by committee, and written language has to begrudgingly follow its lead.
The Ministry for State Security in former East Germany had cells they'd dissappear people into. If you ignore the physical torture they employed in the earlier years, the actual cells themselves were somewhat more comfortable than what the Japanese got.
The Stasi had beds, some sense of privacy through proper doors, and an hour a day one might spend outside in a small courtyard to get some sunlight.
However the level of psychological torture (sleep deprivation, hours of standing/sitting in a prescribed posture, hourly checks, ...) appears to be milder in Japan. The Stasi could take that pretty far once they weren't allowed to use physical torture anymore.
That key will get leaked. A key that has to go into every phone, even if done at the manufacturer and onto the TPM chip, will get out.
Also even if it doesn't get leaked directly, the security of TPM chips is not absolute. Secrets from them can theoretically be extracted given an attacker with sufficient means and motivation. Normally nothing that's on a typical TPM chip would warrant a project of that magnitude, but a widely used private key can change that equation.
Plus a TPM chip doesn't really have means to tell the phone isn't being lied to. You could swap out the actual phone camera hardware and sensors for a custom board that feeds the entire phone camera data of your choosing and it would be none-the-wiser.
Maybe? But biometric passports, chip-and-pin payment cards and SIM cards seem to do reasonably well. And Apple can always push out a mandatory software update that rotates the key, if they need to.

Apple's 'TrueDepth' cameras are serialised and paired with the rest of the device. The touch ID sensors were before that too.
I don't know the precise details, but reports from people trying to repair devices independently of Apple are that the phone is very much the wiser.
They're just part of the machinery for extracting money from these "nonprofits". Take a closer look at anything these paragons of virtue spend money on, and you'll find rot in every last minute detail of their day-to-day operations.
