Hackers are not exploting machines. Instead, the users have configured their media players to interpret that MP4 file as executable code.

Interpreting an mp4 file as executable code is not a feature of a media player, not to mention there's no way to disable it. Bad analogy.

Similarly, browsers don't have a way to disable loading any third party content.

Is the internet even functional for browsers that don’t load 3rd party content? Isn’t that basically the modus operandi of the whole internet?
