This is 100x worse in browsers on desktops, where the percentage of people who install things like browser extensions or persistent malware is non-neglible. Yet banks largely accept that as OK, and if someone’s bank’s website decided to probe the filesystem for “evidence” of malware would 1. cause a huge scandal and 2. immediately cause malware to hide itself from the detection.
