I have read the thread and the linked articles. I'll ask again, why a test using Jailbroken iPhones is meaningful in this discussion? The number of Jailbroken iPhones is so small as to be statistically meaningless. Apple is also constanting plugging the exploits that allows the Jailbreak in the first place.

Seeing as you have read it but not understood it, I’ll try to be as simple as possible.
The researchers use jail broken phones so they can verify that the app is working as claimed.
Jail broken phones allow unauthorised apps to be run, that reveal things normally hidden to users.
The jail broken state of the phone is of no relevance beyond providing evidence that the tracing app seems to work as intended.

It seems that you were trying to demonstrate that the Government's decision to write their own App even when they were told it would not work as intended was a good one and not just another example of "we know better"?.

And it seems you’re more interested in maintaining your belief that the app won’t work, in the face of hard evidence to the contrary.
Go figure.
