I wasn't thinking so much of UX issues, but of the differences in the
level of abstraction that different people need. The capabilities that
you would pass to a low-level file handling library may well make no
sense to the end user who is barely aware that his solitaire game
uses files to store scores or whatever else.

Android permissions are a good illustration. They are too coarse-grained
for meaningful protection (e.g. access to the whole filesystem or no
files at all), and at the same time too technical for most users who
don't know (nor want to know) how and where data is stored.
