.. and it requires a capability not currently documented by microsoft(!) https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br2114... called "runFullTrust"; which is displayed with an explanation that will be as clear as mud for a user: "Capabilities: • runs full trust mode". Elsewhere in the document, it was stated that only registry and one folder are redirected. So do these apps do away with the beneficial parts of sandboxing that the windows store was supposed to be good for?

Yes, hence requiring "full trust".
Right now, apps are manually reviewed by Microsoft to mitigate abuse. How this works in the open-for-all configuration has yet to be seen.
You can see some of the nuances of full trust apps via https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/porting/desktop... .
