Surely there’s some sort of sandboxing that could be done? Like start by disallowing sys calls entirely

    Definitely, but sandboxes can be escaped, and you can't protect everything via sandbox. Apparently its all cloud anyway, but if it were local and sandboxed, there are still exploits like rowhammer and spectre that may cause further risks.

    Its taken years to get browser sandboxes to where they are, and even they get broken every so often.
