The permissions on the parent and lock directory could restrict the access to a specific user and group, but yes, other processes could interfere with this locking if directed to do so. One condition where this interference is helpful is a

I don't think liquid can exist in space. If I remember from undergrad thermodynamics, the vapor dome describes states where liquid can exist, and (gas) pressure must be present. https://www.sciencefocus.com/space/s

The use of Go will definitely do that, as it prefers to statically link everything. https://go.dev/wiki/Mobile If we had an entire POSIX OS built with Go, then we would be back to statically-linked UNIX prior to BSD.

After their 7/10nm delay, they are bringing 2nm into production. They skipped 5nm and 3nm, and that is indeed an accomplishment. I hope the yeilds are high.

It has to be taken and held by a standing army. While that may come to pass, I think today we should call what has happened an "extra-judicial kidnapping" for the purposes of federal prosecution. That is frightening enough. Edit:
