Thanks for clarifying, I thought the comment above was asking why it needed file access in the first place, not all file access.

At least the HHR had a functional rear-view mirror

How do you think torrents work? They basically just download a file, but from multiple people instead of a single server. It needs access to the file system so it can save the files.

Edit: my bad, misunderstood. I thought the comment above was asking why it needed file access in general, not all file access.
