I think you're missing the point by looking at the false extreme that Vess offers. A more realistic example would be a lightbulb that is known to catch fire vs a lightbulb that is dimmer than most. As you know basically everyone has chosen the dimmer lightbulb over the brighter one, except in special scenarios (movie set lighting, etc). Travis is just arguing that most people don't need the super bright light bulb that's gonna catch fire (buggy and badly audited AV software) because windows defender + {bignamebrowserofyourchoice} will be good enough to satisfy 90% of people.
