I guess. I think I don't agree that this is a problem that needs
solving, fundamentally.

I don't have a strong opinion either way, but it's not hard to imagine scenarios where it could be a problem. I tend to build little programs in /tmp and run gdb on them while working on a problem; someone who put a .gdbinit in /tmp with a shell command would trick me. Then again, I don't work in an environment where anyone would even think of doing something like that..
