In my understanding Sandbox is a place to mess around with unknown stuff (malware, etc.), close it and start a fresh one when needed. Not to live and work your daily work in it. As long as something can't get out of it to the host (without a user actively copying it out) i'm ok with how it operates. Some malware can be dormant if it can't get admin rights maybe. As this is a feature that has to be installed, regular limited users won't have access to it, so it is up to admins or machine owner in a case of independent researcher to install it on selected machines. In this blog post MS says, that they see this feature as a testing place for suspect executables, but some people want it to be something else (isolated environment to test software, etc.) and work in it. I can see how this can be dangerous. But it goes against MS idea of how it should be used.
