Please, read what you quoted to the end. The answer is right there.

Anyways. Here are examples to the contrary: cars and driving. Somehow, collectively, we realized that driving requires learning the tools to a minimal proficiency level. This doesn't prevent anyone from driving a car w/o a license (a document certifying one's learned the tools), but it puts the blame for a certain category of accidents on the driver, thus making it unnecessary to demand absolute road safety from car manufacturers.

What if we treated computers more like cars? Perhaps, in a situation like this, products s.a. VSCode wouldn't even exist in the same way how there aren't cars that don't come equipped with safety belts?

Right now, parent suggests, metaphorically, to equip cars with a system that plans the route in advance, has a required number of passengers for each planned trip and won't even open the doors unless the car reaches its destination. This is what "explicit permission system" is to a computer user lucky enough to have avoided most of the MS / Google / Apple and Co products.
