Curseforge is fine enough, modrinth is better, but people need to understand that at the end of the day you are just downloading hundreds of little programs off the internet and that there is little oversight into their content or behavior

Technically, it would be possible to run the games themselves in a sandbox. I mean, games are a class of software packages that really don't need to have access to my system as a whole.

That's really more on Microsoft or Apple or Valve or the Linux distro maintainers to work out, though -- I don't think that mod sites are in a position to do a lot about that, even if mods exacerbate the need for such a thing.
