I do not think the current implementation is more secure. I already provided 
the feedback on this change when it was integrated, It also contradicts the 
spec. It is not "legacy" or insecure and another libraries provided the same 
functionality, and it was discussed here and there like 
https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-6833958.

As I mentioned above, the patch does something similar to changing 
Runtime.exec() to always open files in a different way, even though both are 
specified to run applications and are implemented that way on all three 
platforms.

The spec is already broken.

btw, I just want to make sure that the old report was not AI slop that was 
accidentally accepted
