If one wants to incur the higher cost of process startup, they should be able to do so.

That sort of thing is OS-specific. UNIX has a low process startup cost and processes have a simple structure, so spinning off a process costs almost nothing and is very handy sometimes. Other operating systems incur a high cost for process instantiation and may not work well with this architecture. So it has to be different for each OS for best performance.
In any case, that's not a security issue.
