How about Finder? AddressBook?  Calendar? iPhoto?  Pages?  Numbers?  And. On. 
And. On.

I aren't arguing against that (not that I am in agreement either).  I am 
arguing against this statement:

That's Apple positioning for the reason behind sandboxing of developer apps but 
I mean really, if I'm a hacker I'm going to go after the biggest target out 
there (you know, Finder, AddressBook, Calendar, etc.).  I'm wouldn't waste my 
time with third-party apps when there are lots of other targets that come 
pre-installed on every single machine.
