Some security folks tend to have tunnel vision. They are focused on their own little patch and the first instinct is to control and shutdown with zero concern for usability. job done. bye. But that's too self serving and lazy.
And if that's what they want fine, release your own app or distro and let people who need/desire that level of security choose security over everything else without trade-offs.
The worst thing is a kind of entryism and trying to impose yourself on people operating under different constraints. That's why you always need a strong manager to balance interests and this is the role Linus is playing. More often that not with this kind of imposition something comes out of the blue, and you are left squandering hours to fix things and get back up and running.
