> waste my CPU cycles on a robust sandboxing model, a la Android
Unfortunately Android's sandboxing sometimes literally wastes CPU cycles – when Google forced people more seriously to use the new scoped storage API, people stumbled across quite a few performance bugs once you stray past the very simple use cases.
And like almost all attempts at file sandboxing (except to a limited extent Apple's implementation for Macs), it's broken interacting with more complex file formats that don't consist of a single atomic file. Using a file explorer to directly open that kind of file (e.g. a local collection of HTML files) in another app has become impossible that way, because the sandboxing system will only grant access to the one single file you've clicked on, and ignore any related file that are implicitly required, too.
