Sandboxing addresses AN issue but does not address any of the issues discussed in this article.
Also sandboxing and running apps under reduced permissions makes a lot of sense but should be seen as a tool to increase security not an answer outright as poorly used any tool can be less effective or even harmful.
Historically locking down increasingly effectively often leads to impeding things the user actually wants to do which leads to apps asking for and granting permissions with the net effect of training users click yes to enable whatever the app wants to do.
It ends up being not just a technical challenge but a psychological one as well and its less easily resolved once you start having to deal with real users.
