I assumed you talked about "those on Linux", not "those on Linux who have non-negligible probability of being targeted by hostile nation-states".
It's often difficult to step back and re-evaluate initial claims, and we sometimes choose to use tactics like zooming in on improbable contexts to justify them. But I think it's healthy to face criticism that may snap us out of it, so I'm writing this comment. But it's late now, so I will not be able to follow up anymore.
