Local attacks are still possible.  Which is much less of a worry in most
environments, true.  But it's an easy thing to avoid, and decnet did not.

I run phase IV on some machines that aren't critical and it works and is 
convenient and well-integrated with the older VMS version in use.  I would
not want to run it on a production system today but thanks to the efforts
of people at TGV and FTP Software I don't have to.
