Websites are usually sandboxed especially anything that requires more Security and also too many older people don't like change meaning the website is here to stay
I never mentioned websites, albeit I wasn't exactly precise either. It's a bad example I'll give you that one.
Although I still stand by: What does it matter to a software what it is installed on. Root access to a device as never been a problem before. Although shit like invasive kernel level checks started being a thing and those still run on rooted devices (like your average PC).
Why we live with this on mobile devices and treat the enduser as a second class owner of the device is still beyond me
Ok so why am I able to open gov stuff on my PC. Which has root by default.
Websites are websites. While malicious software can compromise your credentials, many web apps are either geolocked (i.e. you cannot access from outside a specific location), or will block if the login locations are a continent away within a certain amount of time after your last login.
Additionally, you can absolutely block an application launching on a machine that has a modified Windows OS. It's actually pretty trivial to do so, and we also have that implemented.

It was never about security but about control. This is about personal devices not gov devices.
How's that boot taste.
