I can “crash” a tab by running an infinite JS loop, or sending a bunch of data. Crashing doesn’t seem like a big deal.

It’s much less of a problem now that all browsers are running each tab in a separate process. It used to be so much worse.
Firefox manages to produce whole browser lag and freezes pretty often. And while it uses multiple processes, it's not using one per tab or origin.
