The FS access is not so much a permission, as the user picking a folder or drive that the app is allowed to access.
Sadly doing the picking is done via the age old Win32 file picker UI, making it a royal pain to do on touch screens.

There are install-time capabilities for certain known folders (e.g., music and videos libraries), and then access to arbitrary folders has to be granted by the user via the file picker. The shell provides the file picker UI so it's dependent on what edition of Windows you're using.
