Quite true. However, when Emacs is used to browse the web there's a powerful argument to model its security practices on those of other web browsers. A lot of practical experience has gone into the Firefox and Chrome security models, and it would be much, much more efficient for us Emacs developers to reuse those wheels instead of reinventing them.
