It's not quite that - the context of where the attack is coming from is important.
A site that has been compromised isn't the same threat as visiting an actively (and always) malicious website which isn't the same threat as downloading and opening files which isn't the same threat as downloading new software, installing, and running it.
If I ran Javascript, I'd have a different threat model. If I regularly downloaded files or software, I'd have a different threat model. If I browsed every website I come across like some sort of a web crawler, I'd have a different threat model.
