Hey, there's a difference between "outside your threat model" and "not featuring prominently in your threat model". For most (not all!) users "opening attachments in spam" features more prominently than "nation state leveraging AV vulnerabilities".
A Chromebook would be fine, it's <$200 and actually secure, and is perfect for most users. Martjin is being difficult, it's the standard AV industry schtick of "Any replacement has to be perfect, but we don't have to be".

Yes, the whitelisting market is immature and currently enterprise focussed, but he is actually in a position to fix that. Imagine how slick and easy it would be if all the people employed to populate blacklists were populating whitelists? Most people would never notice it.

Seamless hourly updates of new safe software, enterprise social whitelisting like AppNot, Martjin's favorite "most users" would never notice. If you forgot to pay your subscription, you would actually remain secure.

I'm not saying that. At all. If your argument was "everyone should switch to Chromebooks so they wouldn't need AV with all its imperfections", I'd have nothing to say against that. But you're only talking about how bad AV is.
