Yeah but that can be removed at any time. It's a bit optimistic to think those safeguards would remain when they stand in the way of profit...
The purpose is to make it so websites don't require a trusted client. If they took that away after the fact, the websites wouldn't magically switch to requiring trusted clients, wouldn't they? It would still need to be updated for this. So we'd be pretty much where we are now, with a software change and public outcry about it.
