I didn't read the article, but to me it sounds like Safari's security mechanisms need more work.

Safari is fine.

Other browsers would have to be trusted, Apple doesn’t have a mechanism to ensure that they do what they’re supposed to.

So until they have time to add one (remember they already had to create all the API‘s for third-party browsers to use), they’re not allowed to give Safari preferential treatment. So they had to remove the feature.
