Being spec compliant means being compliant with the entire spec, not just a "reasonable subset of the spec", picked by the author of the ponyfill/polyfill. And being secure only in the presence of normal inputs is... pretty meaningless afaict? Anything is secure if the inputs are "nice to the implementation". That isn't a typical bar for "it's secure".

Whether every use case that just wants to roundtrip BigInt through JSON _needs_ a fully spec compliant & generally secure solution is a different question. But at that point it's about picking a solution for a related use case, not about actually standing in for the upcoming browser feature.
