i'm not completely certain i understand your point here, but it would be
cool if other operating systems were that secure in the default

than the default installation.
Security is a two sided sword. Generally the more secure you make
something, the harder it is for your users to do work. Usually this
problem is helped by educating users, but once again the problem goes
back to the point you made that these users are usually the people who
aren't that computer literate. Although there is a fine balance, too
insecure and you give your users more freedom then they need or will
use, which is the problem that Windows faces.
