But they have restrictions that limit their functionality, so they are trading power for security...

Imagine this. I need read/write access of the host file or an equivalent functionality of mapping any arbitrary domain name to any arbitrary IP address.

There is absolutely no way to keep that secure while allowing it because the functionality itself can be used for the wrong reasons. You either allow said functionality or you don't. There is absolutely no gray area.
