I personally think being able to know what my applications are doing and being able to micromanage software permissions if I need to is beneficial.

In 2021, UNIXen are not as isolated as before. A lot of closed source software is creeping into the ecosystem. I'm not against that, but being able to limit them to sandboxes is a good thing IMHO.

I run VMs for such software, but a lighter weight solution is may prove more useful for some scenarios.
