Virtual Windows machines with thin clients are used all over the world. Microsoft is even trying to make Window 11 an online-first platform according to news like https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/27/23775117/microsoft-window.... Some of these companies may run Windows on bare metal, but I doubt the majority of them doesn't do at least some server/workspace separation through VMs.
I know people want convenience. Anyone interested in convenience will just use Windows or macOS. They won't need to mess with VMs. This whole problem is only an issue for the small percentage of the population that wants to use their own weird operating systems, browsers, or addons.
If the need arises, someone will make a user friendly tool to do all this. Cassowary can do it today after following a step by step guide, they can also add their Web Integrity patches to those steps if they need to.
If you, as a user, want to have a special button that makes banking work without needing to know how or why, stick with proprietary operating systems. Linux isn't user friendly enough to accomplish this and it probably won't be for a while. The same is true if you want to watch your HD/4K streaming content without a huge struggle.
