Sorry, I meant they are controlled by the same people, therefore
presumably there's no malicious code running on one subdomain
attacking another subdomain or the parent domain.

Cookie chose non-public-suffix domain as the isolation unit, which is
looser (with no regard to subdomain, port, scheme) that same-origin
policy. But the "same-domain" policy is not without reason or merit
either.
