This has to be one of the dumbest arguments i've ever seen on this hellsite. Firstly, a circuit breaker does nothing but protect the wiring in your house. A faulty lightswitch can still throw sparks and start a fire as long as it never draws more than 10A or whatever your circuit breaker is rated for. Similarly, operating systems can prevent a rogue process from taking too much CPU or RAM, but can't prevent a process from ransoming your files, at least not without a substantially different sandboxing regime to what exists in mainstream operating systems today. Why we don't/can't have this is an interesting disucssion that is much larger than the python2/3 question.
