I’d bet money the main practical purpose SELinux serves is to check boxes when negotiating government contracts, in a way that’s familiar and can be called a standard. Then in practice someone ends up writing a couple policy statements and filing a couple forms then disabling it anyway, nearly every time. If that’s the case it doesn’t need to actually work in practice, just hypothetically. |

It's not the only project like it, it's the one that is most well known because it has the NSA attached and because it got incorporated into the main kernel.
It works in practice, absolutely, but most people are too intimidated or lazy to put in the effort to learn it.
