Combine that with the amount of software (almost all of it) that abuses this fact, and a late-game lame attempt to introduce it is bound to break more than it fixes.

I have to give Microsoft credit for at least trying to implement basic security measures. And hey, maybe one day they'll get it close to something approximating right.
