Buddy, you're on HN. No one is going to buy that bullshit here. Thanks for the laugh, but seriously, don't insult us like that again. We may be dumb, but not that dumb

Which is exactly why I have to advocate for it here. There are literally people on this website who think their operating is secure, but in actuality they are one curl | bash or npm install away from having all of their login credentials stolen. No matter how smart they think they are in being able to avoid malware, that strategy does not scale.
Bubblewrap containers to keep all of my environments separate on my laptop works just fine without giving up control to Google.
Your argument is not sensible as usage of curl | bash doesn't scale. Your argument is people should stay locked up to not be endangered through freedom. There is no intelligence found here.
>as usage of curl | bash doesn't scale
It is the easiest cross platform distribution method between macOS and Linux. It actually does scale in that regard which is why it is so popular.
People are not locked up. Apps and their secrets are. The idea that any app should be able to read the secrets of any other is not essential for user freedom.

You are also one lockpick away from having all valuables in your home stolen. So what?
And if competitor locks were unpickable it wouldn't be regulatory capture to require unpickable locks for people to store valuables in a home. Just because people got away with bad locks for many years, that doesn't mean we have to accept that level of security.
