AKA the "we don't care" security model. What exact use is the fact that the web browser is "contained" if it is compromised? The mail client? Your PIM program? On a server, what use is that the database engine is contained if it is compromised?

I am the first to accept the security benefits of sandboxing, but it is just _one_ thing. It doesn't even help against the majority of issues. Not even on Android/iOS.
