If you have photos and personal stuff in a Kali installation you're doing it wrong, Kali isn't supposed to be a day to day OS, some time ago your default credentials were root, so yeah, they changed it some versions ago but still, that gives you a look as how it should be used.

EDIT: If you want a daily driver OS but need some Kali tools without installing it as a second boot or VM you can use the Kali Bundles which are repositories ordered by type of tools.

Yeah, it's an unfortunate titling of the HN post. Defensive means something different in this context - it's meant for people working within the defensive roles of an organization's infosec department.

Kali are a little to blame here for that confusion as well - "We are making enterprise grade security accessible" - is open to misinterpretation of what they are presenting.
