People are looking for convenience, not OpSec.  They are wearing Meta Smart Glasses while taking a crap nowadays.  I would say humanity has been on a strong constant regress since around 2015 on pretty much all sides. Tails takes less than 5 minutes from powering the computer on to launching Electrum on some pre 2010 computers that I have.  Considering I keep my Hardware Wallets in a safe place, it takes way more than 15 minutes to boot the system, find the Hardware Wallet, find a data cord, check for system updates, check for Hardware Wallet app updates, check for Hardware Wallet system updates, check for Wallet updates, verifying Signatures of downloaded updates for legitimacy, installing them all and finally being ready to use them. OpSec means making sure I am not exposed to zero-day vulnerabilities for each of the four separate things getting updates, it is a lot more than just launching a Linux device that has not been powered on and updated for 7 months and launching the SPV Electrum Wallet that maliciously asks me to update to a fake version because I am still using a cave man era version exposed to the online world. I would argue they are choosing convenience while the actually most convenient are still the 'inconvenient OpSec' ways.  This includes the convenience of not having a semi heart attack every time a new Ledger or Trezor leak comes around or the terror of finding a fake Ledger letter or even Hardware Wallet in the mailbox of my personal address. But.  To each their own.
