“Most users should not want to run a program by a random person.”

This is demonstrably not true. Most users will go out of their way to run any software if they believe that it will do what they’re looking for.

I think the emphasis is supposed to be on the ‘should’. That is, it’s not in the user’s rational interests to run such software. Hence the locked down security model all the platforms are moving toward.

As the peer poster commenter points out, I said 'should' (as in: ought), I am not describing the factual situation.
