I don't understand bitkey. There's no screen on it to see what you're confirming. If your phone is compromised and showing you a different address than where you'll really be sending the btc, what protection does the bitkey give you?

I don't understand this section of that webpage "Receiving Money: Screens Help, But Aren’t the Only Option"
That's not how Jade works. Your Green app (companion app) gives you an address and you can click a button on the app to "verify" that the address does belong to your Jade. You then click confirm on your Jade.
I don’t think the article claims every HWW with a screen behaves like that

They're explaining the problems with screens. In the case of Jade, what they're explaining doesn't apply, as far as I know.
The article is from two years ago and also talks about what they *might* do (like using the servers to do another verification). Do you know of a more recent article that talks about what they actually settled on and what they're doing now?
Fair point about Jade.
I do not have familiarity with a more recent article on this context. Their blog page is https://bitkey.build
Obviously their X account would include more recent things too
I'm not sure I would even be comfortable using an app and a signing device built by the same vendor (with or without a screen). If the vendor happened to be malicious then it would be trivial for the signing device to just show you the same wrong address as the app.
