That's security vs. safety. You're pointing out that a terminal allows the user to do perform actions that could be unsafe. These actions or JS in the browser are a security risk because they can perform actions without the user's awareness or consent.

nonsense. The terminal is a place that you run software. Every piece of software you run in the terminal can do all kinds of nasty things to your system and steal info

the browser is also a place to run software. There, that software can not do anything to your system nor can it steal any data
