I run as root all of the time, and with my system:

You cannot spread malware effectively.
I have several firewalls setup and other security features.
I realize that I am not perfect, so my system allows for my fumble fingers.
I would casually bet $20 that my system is more secure than yours is.

And yet, ironically your entire position seems centered on security. 

It all seems "elementary" to you, but as Jim has pointed out several times, 
you overlook MANY solutions WHILE celebrating to the problems you pose. 
Fortunately, Linux is better than you make it out to be.

The problem here is that your thinking is very limited. You can only see your 
system in your house, which apparently cannot prevent these problems. 
It really sounds like your system sucks. I suggest you never run as root. ;)
