I don't really understand the conclusion here. So the scenario is you trust dropbox with your files, and you trust them with a kernel blob implementing the filesystem, but you don't trust them to silently have accessibility rights?

Trusting them with some files that you knowingly add vs giving them root permissions and password are two totally different things.
