I know that website JS isn't a solution.

But can't the browsers provide APIs for this?

I mean they force me to directly use user-events to switch to full-screen, why can't the do such things for crypto APIs, so that no one could mess with this?

Because you're downloading the program at every launch. A malicious program doesn't have to attack the APIs, it can just send the data to the bad guy's server after it's been legitimately decrypted.
