I never said that...

It simply doesn't make sense to base application sandboxes on user
namespaces. That's all. Isolation can be exposed to unprivileged users
without that insanity.

Chromium has the best sandbox available for large applications like
that, and it works fine without user namespaces. The tiny setuid binary
barely adds attack surface vs. the enormous fully privileged attack
surface of user namespaces. The chrome-sandbox binary can be contained
by MAC too, if you use it.
