I'd rather push the other way on that. We should treat desktops with as much security paranoia at servers.
I'd much rather _not_ have my desktop "limp along" in a poorly understood and probably exploitable fashion while the malware gets a chance to finish encrypting all my files...
If that costs the world the "benefit" of my shared wisdom in a half written Hackernews post, I'm good with that.

I run a a lot more untrusted code on my laptop than on my cloud servers. Likewise for work, even more so as I don’t myself trust the spyware/malware they jam on the laptops.
