Well designed software with attack surface within the bounds of human understanding does not have these problems.
OpenSSH has been exposed to the public Internet for over two decades, with nothing resembling this type of security problem. OpenSSH runs the protocol parser without permissions on the local filesystem, yet Apple thinks an ancient tiff library with scripting abilitites can be run with full permissions. Of course there is a discussion of financial incentives and customer expectations to be had here.
URL previews are an anti feature for a many users. We could not care less. But it gets shoved upon users by product feature teams for whom a continous stream of new features are their reason for being. That's how we develop commercial software, but that's not the only way.
