You can sign your webstart app, or else you can configure Java to
allow undecorated windows to everyone (I would recommend the former).

Because any one of them could be made to say "This is a friendly
notice from your bank. Please input your acct# and password" and be
made to look exactly like the real thing.

Possibly because Swing guarantees that they will never be so easily
coopted into confusing/misleading the user. I don't really remember if
this is actually the case or not. Or perhaps the popups aren't really
windows as such, but lightweight components painted entirely within
the bounds of the parent window. Try to provoke a popup to appear that
has bounds exceeding the window it lives in. This might cause Swing to
paint it using a heavyweight component, which might get decorated.
