For the purpose of this thread, assume the following:
1. A computer X exists;
2. This computer will never be used by anyone other than its owner;
3. All internet traffic will be carefully vetted through a magic secure router, preventing any malicious packets from even reaching this computer; and
4. All hardware connecting to the computer will be carefully vetted and uncompromised, never infecting the computer or installing software which isn't strictly necessary to function.
Why would the kernel/OS of this hypothetical computer keep track of permissions or other security features? Could it theoretically beat every other computer out there on performance/features if it didn't have to check or sandbox everything?

Permissions would still be important as they would help mitigate the damage caused unintentionally by buggy software (which is doubtlessly going to exist, especially if it never updates). Pic related actually made its way into a variant of the Nvidia Linux drivers.
