Every day users care most about the files in their home directory (or cloud services these days). The OS kernel and ring 0 isn't any more important to them than that.
Ooh, I like this argument a lot. Right now I'm thinking a good analogy is, you live in a gated community, but the locks on your house and your ring camera are fine -- but your overly annoying gate system makes it hard for people or deliveries to get to you etc.
