I totally agree. My point was:
> This is not engineering a project to be "simply secure", in the sense that it is definitely not simple and probably not secure!
Messy, duplicated code that re-invents the wheel hides security bugs.
Saying "Windows has security issues, so I'm going to write my own operating system for my software" doesn't mean you can't knock it out of the park and make the most secure operating system ever... but I wouldn't exactly bet on that being the case.
