Anyone know why this uses Xen instead of KVM for virtualisation?

Estimation that it has the smaller attack surface (from https://www.qubes-os.org/faq/)

From the FAQ:

In short: we believe the Xen architecture allows for the creation of more secure systems (i.e. with a much smaller TCB, which translates to a smaller attack surface). We discuss this in much greater depth in our Architecture Specification document:
