Well, its a matter of degrees. I might want an app that I trust to have access to photos, but not my whole SD Card. That hasn't really been possible in the past.

And we've seen that apps that are trustworthy can be bought and sold, sometimes by companies that are very untrustworthy.

While trying to achieve that control, does this change really allow your most trusted apps to keep the same level of utility? It doesn't sound like it, for example it sounds like Termux will no longer be as useful
