As a user who wants to easily migrate to a new browser, I would like the new browser to have access to the old browsers bookmarks etc to make the process easier.

You'd implement that as an export from the old browser though - that way it's an explicit "yes, please" from the user allowing the new browser access rather than allowing holes that nefarious people will exploit.

Yes, and an export from the old browser would count as "making it accessible to other browsers".

But that's not possible, hence it being listed among the issues.
