Canvas actually has a mix of this sandbox (with a different container) and fully client-side.
The "run" option for generated code was removed due to underutilization, but the sandbox is still used for things like the data analysis workflow and running extensions amongst other things. It's really just a general purpose sandbox for running untrusted code server-side.
Is there a way for you to campaign to return the run button for common queries for code examples? It's probably the most powerful educational tool ever invented, to be able to see how the human language description turns into strange computer code which turns into resulting output. If you guys can get it secure enough, it's a killer feature.
Talk about indirect gas-lighting, I can never find info on deprecated functions like this one, to the point I convinced myself I imagined it. I guess now I know who to ask
