Why should should Google arbitrate on my level of risk?

Well, that's one way to see, and perfectly valid I might add. Anorther way to see it, is that Google are arbitrating the level of risk you can pose to others - No exploits, no botnets.

The home computer has been fairly mainstream for about 20 years; If users were going to learn not to run malware they'd have done it by now, so sooner or later someones got to take the option away from them. That'll be a drawn out incremental process, but canning plug-ins is a logical first move.
