Because it's entirely manufactured. The writer doesn't seem willing to differentiate file permissions from a sandboxed application's permissions to access the file.
Once a sandboxed application is granted permission to access the file system, those file permissions still apply.
For non-sandboxed applications, those permissions still apply.
For non-GUI applications that run in the command line or as daemons, those permissions still apply.
Nothing is inaccurate. There is no lie. File permissions and applications' permissions to escape the sandbox are separate concerns with their own user interfaces (Finder and the Security & Privacy preference pane in System Preferences, respectively).
Therefore, the outrage is manufactured.
