> SOP is a solution to a browser-specific security issue.

Indeed, it is, but in my opinion a pretty bad one as it causes a lot of collateral damage. Instead, they should just use the (cookie) state from the origin that initiates the request instead of the origin that receives the request. AFAIK, that should have solved the security issue much more precisely. But now we have to live with the SOP+CORS in the web based world :-/
