This is appealing for the duality. Important stuff should be protected. Unimportant shouldn't be able to do anything.
The problem is soon everything will be important. Think we can classify ourselves out of this? Good luck.
So, we can make things less vulnerable at a software level. Or we can pick our data. For example, your personal information should be more resilient to problems.
The problem is this is as much societal as software. If someone "robs" you by buying tons of digital non goods, there should be cheap recourse. If they bought real goods, should be the same.
But then we get to physical things like cars. Nothing is as good as the sandbox that currently exists of isolated devices. As soon as they are fully networked, the concept of sandboxing is laughable. Desperately needed, but laughable.
