On the contrary - they reacted removing sandbox completely giving up handling sandbox bypassing snippets, the problem is in the design of the framework and it can't be just fixed.
Not true. Google has diverged development of Angular 1 and 2. Angular 1 was initially developed with designers in mind, but it caught on with developers.
