It's a matter of convenience.
Your setup is far more complicated for a non-technical activist or journalist Vs. Tails.
Typical configuration would be one Whonix-Gateway to connect to Internet via Tor and one or more Whonix Worstations.
If you're serious about protecting yourself, Whonix is a requirement.
"Unanimously?" By whom?
By anyone who has read and understood the technical design pages.[1][2][3]

I clicked in "more information" and was directed to a long page with small print, where you have to navigate to different policies (which remain somewhat hidden if you are not careful) ...
Really?
Easier to understand than most I see.
Only through Qubes, but I do most of my web access in a disposable (ephemeral) Whonix VM in Qubes, and it does exactly what it says on the box.
I agree with you. Web design doesn't seem to be the strength of the Whonix team.. and got worse over time.
Basically, you download a Virtualbox image, import it and then have a hardened Debian VM with Xfce UI & some privacy-friendly apps like Tor browser & a crypto wallet. The internet is slow (because of Tor) & tcp-only, but sufficient for most things. Virtualbox guest extensions are included and most things work out-of-the-box.

Click "What Is Whonix?", scroll down, "Whonix ™ consists of two VMs: the Whonix-Gateway ™ and the Whonix-Workstation ™. The former runs Tor processes and acts as a gateway, while the latter runs user applications on a completely isolated network."
Whonix (KVM) is like running Debian with XFCE, but no matter what you do, your real IP address will never leak, at any point.
I wish they'd simply summarize what it is.

I certainly hope the people behind this distribution have better English than that.
I also hope they're better mannered than you are, and much better informed.
