How about Finder? AddressBook? Calendar? iPhoto? Pages? Numbers? And. On. And. On.

I aren't arguing against that (not that I am in agreement either). I am arguing against this statement:

That's Apple positioning for the reason behind sandboxing of developer apps but I mean really, if I'm a hacker I'm going to go after the biggest target out there (you know, Finder, AddressBook, Calendar, etc.). I'm wouldn't waste my time with third-party apps when there are lots of other targets that come pre-installed on every single machine.
