It does look scary.
The output from a Fedora based qube looks much the same..
You should run the analysis against each service and see where you think
they could be hardened. Post back your conclusions here.
Also, I see that you have many services that need not be there - some
of these will be disabled by Qubes- some you do not need in every qube
(cups-browsed, exim4, tinyproxy etc).
You need to review what services you are running, and disable those you
do not want. My list in an ordinary qube looks rather different from
yours. Those are steps you should be taking in any case.
Also, bear in mind that the analysis doesn't take in to account any
security features in the programs themselves, or other mitigations.
So you need to do a good deal more work before reaching any conclusions
about your system.
Look forward to hearing from you
