Java for sure had a sandbox, the security model is documented extensively, based on (among others) the infamous "class loaders" (I was a Java dev in the past, so then you get to learn about all that obscure shit).

But for some reason their sandbox was leaky, apparently. Maybe they just had more competent programmers in the Silverlight team?

The V8 JavaScript runtime is the real root of Google's power on the web, I wasn't aware of that! I believe you, although I can't really deduce why that is so.
