We should implement mechanisms that make it hard and obvious to do unsafe things and easy to do safe things, in all kinds of computers; even as an expert user, I don’t want to have to think about my text editor’s color scheme being able to access my bank. Yes, this necessarily involves a barrier to installing apps with certain privileges, and it should be high enough in software targeted at non-expert users to provide them with protection against scams. No, we obviously shouldn’t make it illegal for a user to do what they want, and nobody has even come close to proposing that here. That’s a straw man.
