> If someone or something is executing code on your machine, you have already lost

This nonsensical attitude is thankfully dying out in favor of more sophisticated approaches.

What makes it nonsensical?

There is no objective or tangible reason you must give up at that stage. We all run untrusted code on our machines, whether it's third-party apps or visiting websites.

How does (the unfounded claim of) "everyone is doing [X]" make "we probably shouldn't be doing [X]" "nonsensical"?

Sounds unconvincing. Can you elaborate further?
