Is this not just an artifact of windows not sandboxing anything meaningfully and that itself is an artifact of punch cards?

Windows has a lot of powerful sandboxes. A lot of them Windows maybe made too easy to opt-out from and/or defaulted them to opt-in rather than opt-out which makes them things that developers need to learn or developers try to avoid or developers don't think they need.
Linux doesn't sandbox anything at all, unless you go out of your way for Bazzite or accidently run something from Flatpak/Snap.
