I (the commenter you responded to) am a security engineer by trade and I'm arguing that SB is useful. I'm not sure if the parent commenter is or isn't a security person but my interactions with other people in the security field have given me the impression that most of them think it's good, too.

So I'm a little confused about the "can't threat model for shit part," I think these sorts of attacks are definitely within most security folks threat models, haha

Security professionals wanting to have security solutions they can sell to people doesn't mean that those people actually need or benefit from those solutions. Security professionals tend to vastly overestimate the relevant threat models relevant for regular people and have no concern for anything other than so-called security.
