Q. Is this really as harmful as you think?

A. Go to your parents house, your grandparents house etc and look at their Windows PC, look at the installed software in the past year, and try to use the device. Run some antivirus scans. There’s no way this implementation doesn’t end in tears — there’s a reason there’s a trillion dollar security industry, and that most problems revolve around malware and endpoints.

Musk and Jobs are/ were highly effective psychopaths. Not geniuses in an academic sense but incredibly shrewd and calculated.

Gates, Bezos, Zuck, Page and the likes are very intelligent and very confident. Like I wouldn't be able to one up any of them in a debate, but I wouldn't be afraid of them trying to destroy my life out of spite.
