Sandboxing is good for stopping memory corruption and privilege escalation bugs. It's not very useful for problems affecting cryptography implementation flaws, logic errors, out-of-date software, etc.

Those problems are better solved by giving developers better tools and frameworks that solve these problems for them, that are simple to use and don't introduce massive security foot-cannons.
