Given the tendency for people to lower their unknowingly compromise their security for the sake of convenience, I can understand why a project wouldn't do that. Knowingly is different and is what you're requesting -- it's when someone is following some Stack Overflow post or some such and doesn't have the training (similarly with the SO commenter, potentially) to know the implications.

It kind of feels like a tradeoff between protecting users who are critically in need of something like Qubes or expanding its reach to people who are less at risk and won't use it if it's too inconvenient.
