This is one of the reasons I use Flatpak whenever I can. I've revoked all Flatpak apps the permission to access the root of my home directory via a global override, so anything they wanted to do in there (e. g. create folders, place malicious code in my ~/.bashrc, etc.), actually happens in
~/.var/app/<appid>/
.Don't you need to manually configure remapping those folders, or is it automatically done when revoking the prrmission?
