Afaik all apps on android have the ability to list directories across most of the "sdcard" file system even without storage permissions.

Sure, but all the interesting data is stored in a subtree that mostly won't even show on that list. In fact, there doesn't seem to be a way for a user of non-rooted phone to view this data. This sucks.
