They seems to trade off privacy protections to gain performance, which I think is a very odd choice.

Did they publicly establish that that the scoped storage is hurting their performance to an unacceptable degree, before making that choice?

What if users are not fine with that choice of giving a blanket approval to a closed source system.

There is no good reason why Obsidian needs to see more than its own files and the specific documents that the user wants it to see.
