It's quite simple. Any explicit user-space security measure can be circumvented. security has to be founded on the bedrock of the system.

#

example: If the entity "garage door open button" exists, I can paste as much security on top as I want to. Anyone who can break out of their permissions cage can access it.

#

If on the other hand, said button had an intrinsic property that requires me to provide a pass code to access it, an attacker would at the very least have to break into the HAOS layer to circumnavigate it.

#

if that property was rooted in, say selinux, the attacker would have to break the kernel code to get at it.

#

It's in principle the software equivalent of having one of those cheap one-piece fingerprint locks that control the lock solenoid directly. All you have to do is pop the cover off and you can bypass them.

I bet it has. Security and robustness isn't flashy and feature-y, that's why it always gets hind teat until it's too late. See Crowdstrike.

It is currently on the roadmap, but we have no ETA of when/if it will get added. LOTS of discussions around it, however.

Discussions are better than nothing, at least it keeps it in the forefront of people's brains.

I've been to IT-SA this year, it's been a real eye-opener to see all those demos.
