'Production' is an interesting appeal to authority, if I may risk using terms improperly.
My 'toy' controller/replica are production but due to planning - have no weight. Two people care in the 'oh that's mildly inconvenient' sense when they break. Everything moves on.
To lean into hyperbole a bit: for every shop that's rootless, there are nine that are rootful.
I don't say any of this to be defeatist, more... realistic. There's:
1) what people say they do
2) what people actually do
These can be, but don't have to be, the same.
It's surely trending positively, but I'm also not interested in arguing about window dressing while the house is on fire.
What does SELinux or AppArmor look like in this hypothetical, disabled per usual? Plenty of work to do. No pats on the back yet.
I say all of this a bit heavily - not OP. Closely related to some heated talks I've had this week. It's easy to bike-shed endlessly
