No, they often can't. Things like Flatpak make it so apps have no unnecessary access to the filesystem.

Fortunately, things like snap and flatpak are still fringe projects with no realistic perspectives for a widespread adoption. Which would be ridiculous, anyway: why would you want all the programs in /usr/bin to be isolated "apps"?

I run most of my GUI stuff out of flatpaks now, it's pretty great. Run the latest releases on a stable LTS with no dependency problems.
