But it is true that certain types of developers will just download anything and integrate it into their development process. And it's also true that this would have been avoided by executing in a sandbox.

It's also reasonable to assume some of the arbitrary 3rd party extensions are trying to screw you over. You don't have to be so rigid and extreme in your thinking. You can take the reasonable middle ground and make good guesses yourself.
