> I mean, they do care about you. I assume you have a bank account, or personal information that can be used to open a credit card under your name?

That is not caring about me though. Honestly at that point you are spreading the same sort of hand-wavy FUD that is used to take away user control "because security".

> Most of that is specifically designed with security in mind. For instance the GPU has it's own MMU so you can't use it to break the boundaries between user mode and kernel mode.

Again, i'm not talking about not having security at all.

I legitimately don't understand your argument here. Do you not lock your car? A opportunistic car thief doesn't have to "care about you", and going through the process of unlocking your car could slow you down.

Those comparisons miss important details so they aren't helpful - and also i do not have a car. Though if you want a comparison that does apply to me - i lock my apartment's door, though i do not bother with installing a metal door and window bars despite knowing how easy the door would be to break for someone who insists in entering my place as the chances of this happening are simply not worth the cost.

I already repeated that several times, i'm not sure how else to convey it: i care about security (lock my door), but it isn't at the top of my priorities (do not have a metal door and window bars).

The problem is you're speaking in metaphors. Which security is getting in your way that you can't trivially disable?
