The problem with sandboxes is that there isn’t a perfect prision. Eventually, ways will be found to break out of it, and there will be bad actors that will take advantage of such.
I’ll grant that COM, ActiveX, and Adobe/Shockwave Flash turned out to be security nightmares.

I think it’s not perfect security but a good line of defense.
