I really don't think shrugging and giving up on security for desktop apps is a viable path.

These are important, but you generally do not want to sacrifice security to get them. The sandbox is opt-in on the Mac so where you have an app you believe cannot live in it, you have that choice. Saying Mac devs are forced to castrate their apps isn't accurate or fair.
