Actually, such a feature would be quite useful to protect benign users from malicious extensions. It is impossible to prevent the user from actively attacking you, but there's nothing wrong with preventing malicious extensions from reading your cookie jar without the user's knowledge.

Of course, that would only be secure on Chrome OS; on any other platform, malicious OS-level code can read the cookie jar directly, bypassing any possible protection from Chrome.
