I don't wanna "make it". I just want fast, secure, private computing.

Agreed. However, more users (personal, institutional or business) equals more devs focused on the OS.

We need enough, not more. The concept of "more" and "surplus" got us into this capitalist dystopia. I know this isn't the point you're making. I'm just making a separate point that I thought of reading yours. :)

And that's fine. I agree. Becoming consumist hoarders is what got us to where we're at. Or rather, what allowed companies and institutions to take us here.

Same, I'm largely being facetious. But viruses come with success, and success also means more software and hardware compatibility. I think that's worth a periodic scan every so often and some slightly inconvenient security systems in place.
