In an ideal world, you could opt-out of isolation without giving the code in the container a way to know. You wouldn't want to opt-out your banking TAN generator just like you wouldn't want to put the password in your email footer, but a Facebook client would likely be a popular target (despite the hypothetical risk of an attacker destroying your reputation by posting in your name).
It's like SafetyNet today, you can't run a good amount of apps on unapproved platforms already, even apps that don't handle confidential data.
