A variant of the 'single non-root user' problem on Unix systems.

A non-root user (hopefully) can't root the system or rm -rf /root.

But everything interesting is stored in that user's home folder with implicit RW permissions anyway.

On Android apps just request everything. I imagine (without explicit knowledge) that an app given permissions could rewrite, erase, or pull down over the network contacts / photos / etc in the background.
