That's really an intrusion of the author into user space. UAs are supposed to be Agents of the User, not the Author. 

and yes I know that's what authors want, a nice locked down platform that they can abuse / use as a user hostile platform, instead of a user friendly platform. 

That doesn't make it right. Nor does that mean we should do it. And just because some user agent wasn't sufficiently creative about designing a UI element doesn't mean we need to perpetuate that mistake.
