That's only true for the simplest of apps. The whole point of desktop OSs is that programs can integrate with each other, but that necessarily discards the notion of a sandbox almost entirely.

Yeah, e.g. file sandboxing approaches that work along the lines of "don't let the program access any files outside of its private directory except for those explicitly and lovingly hand-picked by the user" commonly ignore the existence of multi-file file formats.
