Yeah, the dependencies are crazy here. If you want to make sure you want to disable something, put that config value to be disabled in your prj.conf and see that it does not generate any warnings of being overwritten in the compile log. If there are warnings saying that your config in prj.conf is overwritten, then it will also give you the dependency that made it so.

I'm using the Thingy:53 specifically to test with the sensors already on the device, so it's convenient to occasionally be able to debug on the device itself, I assume that was the intent.

However, good point about building without TFM. I didn't know what that was or that it should just be disabled, but that's easy enough to do and works fine, thanks.

But in the event using the T-FM was necessary, or if there was ever a case for some other reason I wanted to make sure a flag is enabled only for the parent image, is there a way to specify that in the build? It seems like CONFIG_DEBUG=y is turning on other flags which aren't disabled by specifying CONFIG_DEBUG=n in the network core's child image. Unless I'm just misunderstanding exactly what's going on.

it looks like Thingy:53 applications are mostly built without the TFM support and we have not tested anything with non secure support. Is it a necessity that you need to use Thingy:53? Can't you use the DK if are trying to evaluate some sample?
