Sure, I guess they could add the additional lower level directory permission, but to what end? This is data that is clearly not intended to be consumed directly by other applications, just specific services the OS provides and presumably sandboxed/filtered through the OS's internal APIs for accessing anything built off of this data.

To the end that apps read only the data you allow them to, not coarse grained all or nothing.

But that's exactly the problem. That "this is data that is clearly not intended to be consumed directly by other applications, just specific services the OS provides" and yet it is allowed to be read by any application that gets "full disk access".

What you state as already the case is precisely what I want them to fix: that it's, as of now, NOT "sandboxed/filtered through the OS's internal APIs for accessing anything built off of this data".
