Removing cupsd on desktops has long been a part of many orgs security policy, and servers shouldn't have it installed in the first place.

Having packages installed that aren't being actively used is a big attack surface, as this exploit shows.

Ppl use Linux instead of RTOS for all kinds of things they shouldn't.

Man will use a full stack Linux distribution with a raspberry pi to turn on and off a light instead of going to therapy.

Man will use software that talks to a cloud server or a system in China, over the internet, instead of pressing a button to turn on and off a light instead of going to therapy.
