Will I be able to replace to an another non problematic chip / get an option for a MacBook replacement?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15
So, to cut the long story short, is there an option to replace the chip with a fixed one / get a compensation to purchase a new one with the m1 chip?
You need to contact Apple - asking other users is not helpful since we do not have access to Apple's policies and are not allowed to speculate.

It is that simple. These T2 exploits require someone to connect a modified malignant device to your Mac.
Prevent access from malicious strangers (and malicious "Friends") and you prevent the T2 problem.
If you are not an international-calibre spy or activist, you are unlikely to be the target of such an attack.
Again, you answered to a question I didn’t ask about. I asked how do I handle the security problem, not how to live with it; My concern is the option that the MacBook might get stolen, and my personal data will be compromised due to the T2’s malfunction. To be honest, I don’t think that every person is cable of keeping his eyes on their Laptop at every moment of their time, especially when they work, like I do, at open space. In addition to that, I find the security issue very predominant, and that is why I paid more than 4500$ on a computer with a wide arsenal of security measures, such as fingerprint reader etc.

Call Customer Support (800) MY–APPLE (800–692–7753)
To protect yourself from all reported T2 chip flaws, simply do not allow strangers physical access to your Mac.
Done.
I don’t think it’s that simple; If so, why would I even create a password to the MacBook, if I keep watching after it at any moment?
How do I replace the T2 chip, due to the recent discovery which concluded high security flows integrated in the T2 chip
