      Yes. That’s fair. It’s an actual, realistic threat. But personally, I don’t provide any services to anyone and my data is periodically backed up to my NAS and cloud. But that’s me. I can imagine other scenarios that would definitely require SELinux.

        If your data is periodically backed up, that means any malware would also get backed up too

        Your data can be encrypted with a ransomware attack. Including your backups. Your memory searched for browser cached passwords and account names.

        You’re not with the effort? The effort is practically 0 these days. Bots written by AI don’t care. And your compute resources can be used to do more harm.
