Don’t confuse TOR with security, you can get exposed to use the Onion without an additional encrytion layer or VPN. TOR cannot encrypt the traffic between an exit relay and the destination server.
The TOR network is certainly pretty secure, but it’s always advisible to use it in the Onion not without an additional layer, at least with a good VPN. Anyway I think that the future is in a descentralized web (I2P, Hyphanet, Snowflake, Shadowsocks and similar), the normal Internet is to heavy controlled by big companies and govs.
It was invented by the US Navy.
Well color me stupid color me gone.
… Except not using it would be less secure, so I’m not sure I’m following…

Sure, like any security it operates in layers
Totally disagree that Tor does not address security. The loophole you mention is indeed well known, but again it’s an exploit like anything
And like any security thing, you stack a few layers to get the real world security
