Privacy and security is extremely hard to achieve. We need privacy tech abstracted away for the users. I remember a website where we could buy hardware with Qubes but then again you're trusting that website.
Expecting people to setup these systems on their own doesn't scale. Without scale, we can't improve these technologies.
But then again, there isn't enough demand for it either.
This is the problem I see with privacy tech. PS: I have set up systems on my own with significant effort and expenses.
