The main thread is hanging inside a call made by WebKit, and this is something that would be hard for an embedder to work around, given that a variety of filesystem-related calls on other threads seem to cause realpath to hang. 

In other words, it's not clear what else a caller of -[WKWebsiteDataStore fetchDataRecordsOfTypes:completionHandler:] can do to defend against this, since this is (afaict) required to be called on the main thread.
