Because the system's "open" command cannot pass arbitrary

Does not emacsclient have a -eval parameter?
Yes, but you need to manually M-x server-start beforehand.
Given that emacs isn't setuid anything, I'm having trouble imagining a
scenario on a Mac where your concern is actually a concern. Can you
provide an example?
I run Emacs via sudo every now and then to edit system files. There's
your example.
Maybe I ought to use tramp mode instead.
Executing AppleScripts is restricted to the console user and root -
what about sending Apple events?
Keep in mine you can also send apple events to the terminal :)
... but Terminal will not execute those in the currently open shell,
but open a new one.
With UI scripting you can do pretty much all nasty things, but UI
scripting is not on by default (probably for that reason).
