I'm not sure about that if you are not root you don't own the device. Its clearly important to have isolation and security, to the point distros are experimenting with read-only file systems with apps running sandboxes through Flatpak, like Fedora Silverblue and SteamOS. Other than that I agree with your comment, HN tend to be very corporate with a visible minority caring about the GPL and its derivatives like the AGPL.
