"Security" isn't a product.
It's a process, aided by tools.
Unfortunately, the "security industry" is also abetted by "tools" too.

224 houses on 52 acres?
That's roughly a quarter acre lot per house. About 11,000 square feet.
Even if the houses only occupy a quarter of that, you're still talking a 2500-3000 square foot house.
That's just it. Inevitably, there will ALWAYS be an imbalance of power.
What is left in a situation of total surveillance is NOT a society. It's a panopticon prison ward. And the only rule is "thou shalt not get caught".
Right now I suspect it's only a matter of time and bribery before they deliver a de facto or fait accompli merger, regardless of what anyone says.
I have zero faith in either wing of the US political monoparty's desire to actually stop this.
Yes. Because embedded graphics on a ULV mobile CPU is EXACTLY what people are talking about when they talk about comparisons...
Le sigh...

"Sorry. But I'm never going to do this. So, politely, fuck off!"
Basically, if it isn't XBox and a big name, Microsoft has NO idea how to handle it.
So all the schmucks in their gaming divisions play ego games and try to fuck with the studios as much as they can.
What a studio needs is strong enough leadership to tell these little pissant middlemen to fuck the hell off and go right over them whenever they attempt to interfere.
Like any other software project, you stick to the spec you're paid for. Changes require more money. PERIOD. No discussions.
If you're using a typewriter, you're looking directly at the content you're supposed to be typing. You're not looking at the pieces of paper on the roller that you're actually typing.
Sorry, but if you create a system with a security compromising flaw in it, even a well hidden, obfuscated, extremely well guarded flaw, someone aside from the "intended" users of said compromise are going to use it to break in.
The government's "need to know" does NOT trump my right to privacy. And if there's a real problem with that, they'd better be overtly bringing soldiers in to try to make me comply.
Sorry, but typewriters are ANYTHING but computer screens on paper.
With a typewriter, you're looking at the copy you're typing instead of what you're actually typing. If you're looking at what you're typing You Are Doing It Wrong.
The only thing they share is that, hey, QWERTY keyboard!
I have a first and second gen rift, and while there is definitely room for improvement, they aren't nearly as bad as you are making out.
Having actually USED both, I can say that yes, they ARE.
The first gen is something I can use for about 20 minutes before I break out in sweats.
Any longer and it's massive headaches and nausea.
The second gen, it's maybe about 30 minutes.
A business partner of mine can't stand more than about 10 minutes on either.
I couldn't use something like this as a workaday desktop. I just can't.
The first-gen Rift headsets are bulky, heavy, and have a low enough resolution and flicker to make most people ill after a short period of use.
Even the second-gen ones aren't really good enough.
I'd say, two, three more solid generations before this is "ready for everyone", mostly meaning early adopter wannabes who can't handle the current paradigm.
They've be MUCH more secure when they're 6 feet under.
