Yes and no. I like a bit of restraint. But it's good if the reasons are
made apparent to the user. Example, on MacOS apps actually need to go
through the OS access control if they try to access the Desktop folder.
But at least I get an OS mediated popup saying "App X wants to access
your Desktop folder". A bit ad hoc, but as a shared multipurpose area it
is probaby a good thing.
It sounds like snap apps maybe run in a somewhat constrained container?
I've got $TMPDIR set to ~/tmp, so i probably haven't been bitten by this
Firefox check, and I am a Firefox user.
