While I agree that this will be great for security, with changes like this I always wonder: what happens when we idiot-proof and hide implementation details of almost all consumer products? How does the next generation of hackers pop a path into a URL and learn about path traversal attacks, or code into query params and learn about XSS when we've hidden all that away from them? There's some value to that, too.

For me, that was exactly how I got interested in software development, first learnt about application security attacks, and even some scripting languages. I'm not sure any of that would've happened as well, or at all if my first device was a locked-down iPad (which it frequently is, for kids these days.)
