      for normal users they get a improvement in security!

      Microkernels by having a reduced risk surface provider better security, less vulnerabilities, and more compartmentalization. Programs simply have less privileges

      Harmony OS is closed source, and run by a company in a country that has done some… flexible things with data security… but at least with a microkernel its less likely third parties will violate your security, only second parties here!

        Most malware doesn’t target the kernel directly, so I don’t think it will change anything, especially if Linux used with seccomp like in Android. For people who really cares about privacy proprietary OS with preinstalled spyware already is a nightmare.
