Modern operating systems have permissions systems, memory protection, and so forth. Arguments about the effectiveness of access control systems aside, users shouldn't be burdened with becoming security experts. Vulnerabilities are usually difficult to find, understand, and prevent. By "become wise", you really mean that a user gets hit with an exploit and learns the hard way that an app is vulnerable.
