I mean your mother is successfully using Apple's highly sophisticated sandboxes and things like authenticated pointers. (sHe's On AnDrOiD)

For Qubes specifically she can understand theres a bank Qube and a Facebook Qube and a nothing-special Qubes and its all color coordinated. She doesn't even need to know they are VMs, they're just color coded windows

As a qubes user myself, I don't think my mother would be able to perform the initial setup and segregation, not to mention endure the hurdles of copy/paste rules and filesharing across VMs. Oh sure, she could learn another set of copy paste keyboard shortcuts that will end up as another handwritten note on her list of keyboard shortcuts. Not to mention how frequently I'd get called due to slowness as she neglects to close the VMs. And say goodbye to remote support options unless she gives me SSH to dom0 but then why do any of this anyway at that point?

My bet is that over time most people would slip on the separation and end up with tons of tabs in the wrong containers. The only way it'd work in the long term is if there were some way of automatically taking link clicks in the "wrong" container, thoroughly sanitizing them, and then tossing them over the "right" container but then you're back to risking cross-contamination.
