The Web has certain properties that it relies on for its existence. This isn't "clawing for absolute security", it's recognition that if you push the Web just a little too far, it's dead. As in, it's not the Web anymore, will gradually become useless for many existing purposes, and will have to be replaced by something else borne out of its ashes. "The Web but without worrying quite as much about its security/privacy characteristics" is simply not the Web. Same as "the Web but without stressing so much about backwards compatibility". It would be a great thing, perhaps, but it's something different and would evolve very differently. (In particular, it would lack some of the core reasons why the Web has competed successfully with native apps.)
