Frustrating and rushed, perhaps, but...

AI has accelerated the ability for criminals to infiltrate
organizations.  Read the news and see all the very large and
embarrassing breaches in recent times.  That organizations are being
more paranoid about security, including requiring corporate secrets to
remain on known-secure devices, should be no surprise to us.

It affects us because the FLOSS community has been historically "loose"
with their activities and related security, and it's causing us problems
as we try to adapt to an "assume evil" security model.

Consider, though, that this level of security is not unknown elsewhere.
Just ask anyone who has worked on military facilities and risks being
arrested if they gained too much weight over the holidays (I worked for
that guy for a while, and learned to be a LOT more paranoid about
security).

A friend did a support call at a military base, and tells us that his
marine guards were under orders to shoot him if it stepped off the path
between the door and the machine he was to service, or even touched the
blackout curtains.

"Don't use your password on a machine we don't trust" is a small ask.
