Xen is not an obscure system. Hardware isolation was broken last time in 2006 by the Qubes founder ("Blue pill software").

I open my email in a dedicated VM, so only my email provider could attempt to compromise me. Attachments are automatically opened in another, disposable VM.

My personal data is protected enough on Gmail and gdrive.

Everything else just doesn't exist anywhere.
