Seriously?
A computer allows third party code to manipulate all files that exist on it in any manner it sees fit.
An operating system allows third party code to manipulate files in any manner it sees fit.
A programming language interpreter/compiler allows third party code to manipulate files in any manner it sees fit.
And on and on and on.
Surely this tired old trope was exhausted with the decades ago failed attempt to get Xerox copiers banned because they could be used to circumvent copyright. I am amazed there are still people that trot it out.
