witch hunt level nonsense.
windows and linux desktops are just a bunch of programs running in shared memory and disk space. every program can read or modify the data of any other (see ReadProcessMemory, WriteProcessMemory (ptrace for linux)). simple. all these people claiming that there is an issue simply don't realize this simple fact (well, some do, but they're just even more wrong). the worst part is that devs often give into this nonsense, like they did in all those nightmarish hellscape 2003 pseudosecurity laden programs. gotta love when some program prevents me from doing something for "security" when it actually does not make security any better but is just pandering to some charlatans' concerns.
