Very cogent explanation, and an important point that you highlight - factual real-world risk/threat model is far more important than hypothetical "the-world-is-burning" scenarios.

Having a correct threat model is the first step towards building reasonable security controls. But far too many are willing to pander to the "It rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway" [0] scenarios.
