You are totally ignoring the malware problem that&#x27;s been going on for quite some time. All those botnets with hundreds of thousands of computers started as flaws in the OS or applications. Something like OpenBSD will definitely reduce the amount of those. High-assurance security platforms that address root causes with rigorous analysis reduce it to almost nothing. Usually new attack classes discovered to breach those.<p>So, yes, configurations and sharing will still be a problem compromising many users. But, no, the malware problem would be greatly reduced. That everything else is built on top of that integrity guarantee makes it the most important. Then, users can choose what they share, how they configure, and so on from there. Also, systems can be designed without need to share secrets to operate. Systems can also be largely self-configuring. We&#x27;ve seen both in market and FOSS. So, it&#x27;s common issue but not inherent.
