So, yes, I do see the value in locking down closed-source systems, to make them a reliable and safer system. The world would be a better place if Windows wasn't such an utter disaster. You might think you don't care if Windows self destructs while you never use it, but your medical data, your financial data, etc, is on other people's computers using those systems.
You never know what is processing your medical/tax data, etc.Maybe they are still using MUMPS (https://thedailywtf.com/articles/A_Case_of_the_MUMPS), maybe ancient COBOL code are still chugging along. Maybe it's a long-discontinued proprietary OS that has seen last security update a decade ago.
But you still have to use them. Lily
