Check your home folder permissions on macos, last time I checked mine were world readable (until I changed them). I was very surprised by it, and only noticed when adding an new user account for my wife.
I noticed that too (and changed it). The home folder appears to be world readable because otherwise sharing via the Public folder wouldn't work. The folders where the actual data lives are not world readable.
I think this is a bad idea, because it means the permissions of any new folders have to be closely guarded, which is easy to forget.
