I think it's that most security people in bureaucracies have been
brainwashed (ahem, significantly by MSFT "trustworthy computing"
propaganda in 2000s, of which I used to be a subversive or at least
kidding-myself part, sorry about that) to ignore the monoculture and
just cope with vulns as they come.
When they understand the Qubes security model, they scratch their heads
at it's brilliance, then say "you mean someone has really implented
that, and it works now ?..."
