But how is that relevant to the permissions issue we're discussing?

Because of this " If you don't have permission to do something through raw Linux syscalls, you won't have permission to do it through the official stable API either."
Just because you aren't supposed to do Linux syscalls directly, doesn't mean there isn't an Android compliant way to achieve the same goal.
For example, you aren't supposed to fumble with Linux networking APIs directly rather use the NDK and Java APIs for the same.

But in this case, they didn't give us Android compliant ways to do any of the stuff they restricted.
