FTA: “Next we need to make sure we have full read and write privileges for this new folder” What are the write privileges for? If the OS needs to write additional data, can’t that be done in a separate directory?

They are likely unnecessary, as long as read access is available. Write access is needed for fc-cache update, but that's done as sudo as well.
