Wow, so it's really just as easy as a webpage that says "Please download and execute this file."

This is really feeling like "we asked if we could, but never asked if we should" and "has [computer] science one too far" territory to me.

Not in the glamorous super-intelligent AI Overlord way though, just the banal leaded-gasoline and radium-toothpaste way which involves liabilities and suffering for a buck.
