Gee, would you still be ok with it if you discovered that someone had 'rooted' your system, and not only did they use it to host websites that sell fake meds like cialis and viagra, but your nice little laptop is also part of a peer to peer photo exchange network and interpol is now looking for you. Not to mention that the attacker used your logins to attach to your corporate network and when no one at work is working, the entire computing resources of the company are dedicated to mining for bitcoins, looking for other servers to infect, running phishing scams and oohh fuck it... it's the NSA that is doing all of this... we proles are too stupid.
