You're missing the point. Currently, I do not have to run proprietary software to use the Web. Under your design, I would have to surrender control of my computer to arbitrary third parties to use even the most basic features.

What kind of control do you presently have over your computer, that would be taken away?
Current CPUs come with hypervisors; running native code need not lead to any loss of control. Sanely designed CPUs would give the user yet more control.
This is a moral, rather than technological problem. Anyone writing any kind of code can choose to make life less-pleasant for those who will read it.
Under current architectures, you do not even have the option of making life pleasant for those who wish to read the code that is presently running on their machine, at the time it runs. In fact, the very idea sounds like schizophrenic soapbox heresy to most people. Which is a crying shame.
