Meaning that, for TBB, they're going to click the big "Download" button that
probably is automatically linked to the binary for the OS detected by js on
the Tor download page.
So:1. Click the big "Download" button to download a 47.3 megabyte file
2. Click the icon to Install3. Run TBB

So:1. Click the big "Download" button on Whonix' frontpage.2. Click "Download" or "Virtualbox" in the row marked for Windows3. Download a 1.7 gigabyte file4. Download a 2.0 gigabyte file5. Realize that they don't have virtual box installed.6. Download 115 megabyte virtualbox installer for Windows.7. Install Virtualbox8. Run Virtualbox9. Navigate to the Whonix page that tells you what to do with the two big files they downloaded earlier10. Start virtualbox11. Import appliance12. Navigate and select Whonix Gateway image13. Click import, then Agree, then wait...14. Import applicance again
15. Select Whonix Workstation16. Start Whonix Gateway and Whonix Workstation17. Wait while the startup scripts initialize everything, then open the browser in the workstation.
That's two orders of magnitude more data to download, a virtual
machine running two OSes, and three more windows open on the desktop
(counting TBB window itself which is nested in the workstation window).

OK, they're naive and trusting. For which "sheep" is common metaphor.
Running VirtualBox and Whonix is hardly "vastly more complex".
