If you're worried about forensics, then obviously you will need
dedicated hardware for Tails.

In practice many people just don't want their ISP and website
operators profiling them, yet are unwilling to jump through too
many hoops.

Obviously an amnesic VM appliance doesn't leak info nearly
as badly as the usual Tor browser/proxy bundly, and will contain
(and revert) compromises.
