Why stop there?

What about "how will state-level-actors abuse this to mislead,
surveil, and censor users?"  (only 1/2 :)

While I agree with asking the sorts of questions you're asking, I
think such abuse-cases are a distinctly different class of design
problems/considerations than what I believe was a positive UX design
methodology that Anne expressed, of making sure users can actually
viably get done what they want to get done.

That being said, perhaps consider filing issues to add your questions
to the W3C Security & Privacy questionnaire, especially if you think
we should be asking them for every web standards spec/API/feature we
consider contributing to and /or implementing.
