As an counterargument, see all the comments to this article.

Most people here comment on something they have exactly zero idea about how the security model works, how the transition (i.e. holes in the sandbox and the reasoning behind them) works and what is the intended end-result (portals).

Very similar. Either complaining about non problems, or complaining about some default they can change, or suggesting solutions that are over-complicated and simultaneously inadequate anyway.

Same underlying reason, except it is worse, because it is in the quadrant "they think they know, and they really don't".
