> An unprivileged userspace application, even if coded poorly, shouldn't crash the machine.

How would you prevent that? It can write until root disk is full, can take all your memory, saturate your CPU and a whole bunch of other stuff we (users) like to be able to do for the things that need them.

Unless you're suggesting something like Qubes or similar UX?
