I think it's just trade off you need to make if you need to make a system that is safe for random user to use. Most linux distro (except Android) just isn't safe enough for a random user to operate at full system privilege. (And sometimes even advanced user screws up, like kernel panic during install something and unable to return to last known good status)
But this situation may change after they finished dual boot support though. At then, you could probably just boot into another linux distro for serious work instead.
