Many people believe that a secure OS should have built-in tools against cyber threats (I’m not talking about computer threats)
Qubes makes it easy to use different online adapetras, and many law-abiding citizens who do not commit crimes, want to work from one computer (for convenience) and engage in “gonzo journalism” through a second adapter that is designed to bypass censorship. In a scenario where qubes calmly goes online to check for updates, qubes was useless for such a journalist, even though he expected to split the network connections into two different personalities. We only ask for basic protection against cyber threats, from the collection of telemetry and other identifiers. If Whonix templates are built in by default, it’s pretty obvious that there must be something as simple as we ask.
