you see, there is a reason we do have a separate node for root file access; giving everything permission to everything is rather dangerous, there is a reason after all why permissions are a thing, fucking up and bricking with a patch like this is easier than ever since you could just do it from anywhere.
Isn't this literally the GodMode9/SafeMode9 debate, assume people have some common sense in them or figure out a cold boot method that doesn't require going all the way into a title so it's super easy to hardbrick

Giving everything access to something else with full access isn't much better. Someone could just as easily create a malicious file that uses your 'separate node' to brick. Furthermore, I'd like to point out that since users can pack their own titles, they can easily give them enough access to do just as much harm.

you can brick your console with just 1 wrong ioctl from usermode, no need for any special node to brick if you want do do so quickly.
