Why does anyone run an operating system that grants ambient authority to executables?

This is analogous to a power grid stripped of all fuses and circuit breakers to make it easier to design toasters.

We've studied this problem since 1972[1]. Solutions were found (but the Internet Archive is down, so I can't be sure [2] points to the right files now).
