You're comparing apples to oranges. Trusted local software and trusted web software aren't the issue. The issue is untrusted software. If you run untrusted native software on a (either non-mobile or non-updated) system, it can usually read and potentially exfiltrate all your files. On the other hand, an untrusted web pages can only access and exfiltrate the files you choose to let them access.

I understand. Thanks.

I think the key here is "trusted". That's the bit that needs work. Vendors need to work on their trust; our industry needs to work on its architectures and business models.
