I love and hate sandboxes.

They're great second line of defence, but large organisations tend to reject fixing RCE when you are not able to escape sandbox and so anything meaningful, so they use them as main line of defense and that makes me sad.

Wait, who does this? AFAIK Apple, Microsoft and Google all have bug bounties which obviously offer bigger rewards for sandbox escape, but still pay something if you find a vulnerability which is blocked by the sandbox. They're all well aware that bad guys collect and store non-functional RCEs in the hopes of using them when a sandbox escape is found.
