Yes, it is exactly this kind of lazy, simplistic thinking that brought us where we are. For some very specific software yes, they may need full, unrestricted access to the whole of my home folder and then I either trust it and grant it the permissions it needs, or do not use it all. For the vast majority of apps, that is not the case and their access can be restricted (sandboxed) such as to limit potential damage it could cause in case of a security failure or downright trojan horse. If I am told the app is sandboxed and it still gets full access to the whole of my home folder, that is still a fucking lie, of the worst kind, a misleading half-truth.
