I agree, I think accessibility made it popular. Security and ease of use are usually opposing forces.

The article has some interesting discussion points. I don't understand the absolute fear of | bash installers. It's open source, read the script. That's the argument people make for `./configure; make; make install` programs. I think it's because it's new, or it's too easy.

But the article does have a point about trusted containers. But security isn't a download or a product anyway. Security isn't even guaranteed.
