Why do simple Apps need so many permissions?

Just to add that you can always limit those perms yourself if the maintainer hasn’t the time. You can create an override by copying from

/usr/share/applications/appname.desktop
/etc/sailjail/applications/appname.desktop

adding a permssions section to the latter like:

[X-Sailjail]
Permissions=UserDirs

containing the reduced set of permissions and presto, less lax perms.
