Agreed. The main catch for most people who should be using it may be to first get hardware with full support to install it on. The range of machines with TPM and the appropriate virtualization and memory control capabilities is long enough, at least for laptops, but to additionally neuter Intel ME (AMD PSP still unsolvable for now?) and install open firmware and still have all of the functionality needed, is a pretty high bar.
Then again, even without that last distance, at least it would improve the situation in many cases.
I think Greggman is mostly wrong the software which people want to run is not available to run on Qubes, but one probably has to admit that stuff not available in the repositories of the Template systems could be a bit arduous to configure. Fancy Windows games demanding a powerful GPU seems a bit like asking for trouble that way.
Probably both doable and acceptably practical with enough motivation though.
