Why our web browsers and applet does not provide direct accessing of system files ?

Hello friend's,
As we know our browser does not provide direct accessing of system files due to the security reason.Even applet does not provide direct accessing of system files due to security reason.
But i didn't understand which type of security they are taling about.
What happen when we provide direct accessing of system files through browser ?
😔

    well system files are the core files which makes a server or for that matter any computer run efficiently. If access is given to system files of the webserver, any body with the malicious intent could corrupt it or delete it. consequences are not too hard to guess.

    I don't know about browsers but i can tell about applets.In java you can not access any file directly.All activities are under control of JVM.Java does not have pointers.This is the reason behind its Secure nature.
