Oh yes, SElinux tooling is an abomination.
I feel like there should be a way to write a new set of simplified tooling on top of the kernel API.
I've been running fedora at home an on my laptop for about a year now, and don't need to turn SElinux off. I only needed to add one custom role myself too, when trying to mount certain host directories as volumes in docker. Which is fair enough.
I don't know anyone in my immediate circle of peers - not even people who use SELinux on servers or in products that they develop - who doesn't disable SELinux on their desktop. They're not idiots, either, nor re-booted Windows programmers that the IoT and DevOps craze has thrown into the Linux world, many of us have been using Linux since back when there was no E in RHEL.
