On one hand I think macOS sandboxing can be a bit too restrictive and buggy, but on the other I think it's somewhat unreasonable for developers to continue to expect unfettered access as a given on the desktop, because it's been proven time and time again that unfettered access will be abused, often by big companies that users tend to implicitly grant a higher level of trust to.
