For most of these vulnerabilities the risk is low, but keep in mind that your web browser runs random untrusted code from all over the Internet in a VM with a JIT compiler. This means you can't rule out the possibility that someone will figure out a way to exploit this over the web reliably, which would be catastrophic.

Right, but there's presumably little data to worry about exfiltrating from, say, my xbox. Even stuff like billing info doesn't need to be stored locally.
