linux is such garbage security-wise that it had to be a niche "hardening patch" to make processes not be able to see the argv of other processes. this normally wouldnt be a problem, except for the fact that linux and its proponents claim that it and other unixes have ultra secure user separation facilities

I'm not sure who's ever claimed that. From the get-go, Unix design philosophy was simplicity, and it was in opposition to Multics and other complex multi-user OSes that had a lot of security and compartmentalization baked-in.

I remember during my first job discovering that SunOS had C2 security available and trying to enable that, then realizing it messed up a lot of stuff and trying to disable it by hand... what a nightmare. I was fascinated by compartmentalized security type stuff but I really had no idea. That sort of security will really hamper user productivity and collaboration. You need to spec it out, because otherwise an OS is going to default to the latter.

No wonder how we got C instead of PL/I.
