Comments like this show that one does not understand chess at all.
You think that you (or any chess author) hold the absolute truth about this
position?
Chess is more complicated than that.

About this position, I think that if white tries to start a King-side pawn storm
black can respond with ..b5 ...a5 (with the knights on b3 and c3 the paws will
advance gaining tempi) and an attack on the queenside. Black's King-side seems
less  vulnerable than white's Queen-side, and I would prefer to play black.

1.Qg3 might be best for white, if the engines say so.
