We only use that language because it's an order of magnitude easier to explain to novice computer users, and because as you stated, the problem still hasn't been fixed at the OS permissions / UI level.
A modern OS lets us do that because lots of users are the sole user of their PC and do not understand the idea of permissions.
- im3w1l 13y agoPeople understand that webapps are safe, because they have less permissions.
- Wingman4l7 13y agoThat really isn't telling the whole story at all. Webapps have their own problems -- like no ownership or control over your data.
