You can have sandboxing and run whatever you want. I do it every day on PCs where I, the user, can define the terms of sandboxing any appliclation I want, and not a trillion dollar corporation using sandboxes to enforce their chosen revenue streams upon users.
Yes and for you to think that is a valid argument for a consumer product is why most open source products suck for consumers and end up being about as bad as the “homermobile”.
So now you are expecting users to navigate hundreds of permissions and know the consequences of each one? How did that work out for Vista?
Yes, if you bother with the rigmarole of escaping walled garden then you should be expected to navigate 20-30 permissions, which is in practice all that's necessary.
If users without that level of technical skill are pressured into making those decisions, that's because they're being mistreated.
Then you don’t want sandboxing if you want all of those permissions.
