The point is, for many use cases you need to install third-party software, including closed-source software, and I want an OS to be able to run it safely. That's the purpose of OS - allow running software.

In reality, third-party software like Docker or Node.JS typically suggests that you sudo-curl-bash the script from the Internet. How worse could it be.
