Bad actors often set up fake websites. Should computers and phones have mandatory browser filters so you can only go to approved sites?
Well they don't, but browsers do spend an inordinate amount of effort trying to make sure that bad websites can't do anything other than show you things. I'm pretty sure that all of the browser vendors will pay 5-6 figure sums for any exploit chains that would allow a website to do things like read files without permission or execute code on the OS. And people regularly complain about the ever-tightening restrictions on what websites are allowed to do.
I get it. And I don't think the threat justifies handing complete control of our computing environments to a single corporation.
But there are a ton of bad actors out there who will also use those abilities to scam and steal.
