A majority run as me, a minority run with root privileges.

Precisely! Those hundreds of pre installed processes are running without sandboxing, or any access control beyond what Obsidian has.

For example, did you know you can just `ls` a directory, or `cat` a file, and both of those applications will run with full, unsandboxed, unrestricted access as you? And there are countless preinstalled applications just like those.
