What if I told you that, back in the day, we were letting thousands of untrusted, unruly, mischievous people execute arbitrary code on the same machine, and somehow, the world didn't end?
We live in a bizarre world where somehow "you need a hypervisor to be secure" and "to install this random piece of software, run curl | sudo bash" can live next to each other and both be treated seriously.
9/10 times i see curl | sudo bash mentioned, its about it being bad so I don't think that's a good comparison.
