"Fabricated hypotheticals"??? How did you like living through the 1990s and early 2000's when Windows was an unfettered vector for viruses. Your position is elitist at best. Only the anointed few who know how to make keep their systems safe from exploits shall have access to computing. Ask your friends in who are not in the software business how they like checking the cryptographic signatures of the binaries that are about to install from the command line. What they don't know how? Well no compute for them.
