What other platform allows arbitrary code execution like the Web does? We have billions of Internet users yet actual security issues are few and far between. It's remarkably safe and secure given the scale

To be safer than other platforms doesn't mean it's safe. And because Chrome is dominating it's a huge target. And at the moment the browser access to the underlying infrastructure is limited.

Not automatically, but it can mean that, and in my opinion it is true in this particular case. Safety is not defined as the complete absence of risk.
