How did Qubes OS prove them wrong? You still have root on qubes, humans still make errors, IMO it's therefore technically still less secure. Of course this assumes your goal is to prevent bad things from happening in general, regardless of how it happens, and not just say "yea the OS is secure but humans can still mess things up by using it wrong".

I think protecting people from themselves is a noble goal that is often overlooked, even if many will disagree with me.

Indeed, this is where we disagree. "If you are protected by a steel door, but you don't have the key, you aren't safe: You're imprisoned."
