At this day and age, what is the justification not doing something like this?

It only takes 1 malicious developer with a relatively popular, innocent looking app to compromise the security of most Sailfish users, and steal all the info they store on their phones.

This is the main reason I'll avoid getting one.
Tis us not easy at all to properly do this. Just check the Aegis fiasco on Harmattan on the N9 to see how bad it can get if not implemented proprly.
