You're absolutely right. The first 5 setups are beyond the capabilities of the vast majority of people, but I've listed them because they really are the most secure. So now you have a fun challenge. Can you convert an old laptop into a Whonix Gateway, or install PORTAL on your router? If you never try anything hard, how will you ever grow? In any case, I think Whonix on a Linux host or Tails with persistent bridges are safe enough for most people, and within their capabilities to setup. Either of these options is much safer than running TBB on Windows, which is what most people do right now. I want to lift the collective security of the community, and I've given them a variety of options. If by "used as recommended" you mean used as a mobile operating system where you log on to different, random wifi spots, then you're correct, your bridges should be different each time so you aren't linked to other logons (of course, you should randomize your MAC address in that case too, which unfortunately Tails doesn't give you an option to do during boot). However, the vast majority of Tails users in this community don't use it as a mobile OS. They repeatedly connect from home. In that case, you want persistent entry guards, because choosing different ones all the time increases the chances that you pick a malicious node.
