the point is that both OS X and contemporary linux have mechanisms

linux distributions have not adapted to this reality and thus they

Wouldn't this be an improvement in regard to
security?
About this, security really doesn't seem like a pointless question to me.
Otherwise, why would all major distributions grant absolutely no realtime
privileges/runtime by default? Reading the JACK FAQ and editing some obscure
config file to gain realtime privileges isn't exactly user-friendly.. You don't
need that kind of thing for realtime audio on OSX for example.
