Its a terrible model. honestly, the existing Unix/ring(n) model and the windows user model don’t work for modern, single-user devices.but do much hardware and software architecture is built around it that it’s hard to switch at this point

I feel like Microsoft is also just incredibly lazy. I think they could come up with a way to do sandboxing in at least a migratable way (so still-maintained applications can opt-into it) like they sorta tried with UWP, but there’s just no money in it. Plus they do security consulting stuff so it’s not like vulnerable software hurts their profits much.
