I'm not sure, at the end of the day, it would have made that much difference. Those who are security and separation aware still are and plan9 would have been a much easier tool for those people.

Those people who are not, still would not be, and having that separation ability wouldn't help. You see this with apps and other things that have the ability to limit their access but you want the app and you just click through without reading what permissions it wants. So those who just want to use something without understanding the danger of it still fall prey to nefarious actors.

It would have if security people really existed as a career at the time I think. But who knows.

They were thinking ahead when they made themselves OS. No one else was.
