Indeed. Delegation via intents makes things more secure as broken code can be patched in one place rather than in many. And, you get tighter control over what apps can do: if you never want an app to share something via Facebook, simply uninstall the app that provides the "share via Facebook" intent.

Interesting point. Sometimes I find myself wanting to keep the app, but drop the intent. Usually that is to shorten a list, but not always. I'd love to see low-level intent-blocking (as well as low-level, fine-grained permissions blocking, but that's a whole other story).
