Tails' existence is a symptom of much greater illnesses but offers a false, inconvenient panacea that just muddies the water. The major, underlying issue is untrustworthy applications, operating systems and hardware the "free market" hasn't brought integrity, privacy and anonymity to barely anyone in a practical, consistent and verifiable form. It may not be easy to accomplish end-to-end verifiably-uncompromised systems, but it's the minimum standard when lives and safety are at stake. Anything less is crap, like America's attitude to nonregulation of health supplement ingredients or those 62k chemicals grandfathered in via TSCA, when there are superior regulation frameworks like those in Scandinavian countries.
