I strongly disagree about the difference in security requirements. I don't want anybody to pwn my banks servers, not less or more than pwning my home desktop or mobile phone.

That's totally understandable. I did not mean to imply that workstations have no security requirements, just different. I feel pretty much the same about the host OS on my workstation, but I also spin up lots of temporary environments that I need to abuse badly. They are thrown away again, usually within hours or days.
