I feel like we're talking about different things. I'm talking about static concepts, if X is more secure than Y, not individual setups where something is tweaked. Threat modeling is tailoring the security to your needs. It doesn't bend security of a static object or make the application of something less than what it is. It requires one's actions to do that by not utilizing it.
Take bullet proof glass, for example. Bullet proof glass is more secure than regular glass. Now, do you need (does your threat model require) bullet proof glass? No? Ok, that doesn't mean bullet proof is now less secure than regular glass, it's just unneeded.
