I don’t necessarily see a problem with this. If OS vendors want to be more than just another layer for running a browser then they need to catch up fast to the work that browsers are doing.

It is insane that connecting to a network is entering into a trust relationship with the the local network operator.

Its silly that most apps run with the full privilege of the user that ran it.

These were fine decisions when they were made years and years ago but browsers have second-mover advantage and aren’t burdened nearly as much by backwards compatibility.
