Which makes me wonder again (and so far nobody has given
me a clear answer to this, and the docs don't either):

Either 

- PK (or a desktop app using it) is able to override
  lower level system security settings (in which case
  to me it's malware),
- or it relies on permissive lower level settings, in
  which case it leaves the system wide open to anything
  not using it to filter permissions.

Or maybe I'm missing a third possible scenario.
