Good questions!

So it runs all in a container. If you want to crash that container, you can! You can't (we really hope) escape from that container though. You have full access to the local file system and you can access network IO - without those you would hardly have a full Python environment. The container runs a Jupyter kernel with a spreadsheet run time. You can break the spreadsheet run time if you want. But it will just kill your own thing.

We've looked at wasm, but we want to solve one thing at the time and running Jupyter kernels in containers is a fairly well understood way to do things. Plus you do want to support server side calculations for a number of reasons. Let me know if you have more questions!
