If there are no such reasons, there are no reasons either for adding new

Well, there's implementation and conceptual simplicity. Saying that @sandbox works for all browsing contexts is a lot simpler than saying it works for a particular white- or black-list of tag names.

Given the way <object> sometimes creates a browsing context and sometimes not (e.g. for images) I think we already lost that kind of simplicity.

And seamless/height/width do not make sense for <frame> and HTMLFrameElement has various "features" that HTMLIFrameElement does not.
