I think this sort of attitude towards hardware devices will massively limit the potential for attacks on our hardware via our ports. We should push for protocols that verify the hardware on the other end is either a known or approved device.

Its unfortunate that the proposed realms is still just a proposal. Even still I've heard many arguments that since the method of isolation lives inside JS it cannot be expected to be entirely secure and you would be much better off relying on OS level security primitives, a point that comments I've read so far completely glosses over. I'd love for someone to prove me wrong that this is air tight so we can champion realms at my work.

POLA is good to live by regardless if it can be implemented.

I agree the vast majority of computer users do not get those benefits, since their main computer is their phone. Phones do not lend themselves to learning about computers, they provide sterile environments that try to get you to forget its a computer in the first place and scroll facebook instead.
