From early on, Android had strict separation of files across apps. I would think users are generally aware and expecting that apps do not have full access to all of their data.



So many Android apps immediately request file access because they need it for updates, profiles, etc.

Users absolutely blindly grant it because it's such a common permission and give it no second thought. The Android sandbox is a terrible example here.
