Isn't part of the beauty of app sandboxing in android how it leverages the concept of users in *nix OS? IRC, each app is considered a user to the OS.

Does anyone know what they mean when they say that Apps will be sandboxed? It can't be similar if the phone is running a desktop OS masquerading as mobile OS.

The Librem 5 apps will use flatpack with bubblewrap. See: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/community-wiki/-/wikis/Freque...

They probably mean Flatpak sandboxing, with all the implications good and bad of Flatpak.
