I thought (and I'm barely getting up to speed on this) if the program was launched as an NSTask, it would inherit the entitlements & container of the parent. If it was launched as an XPC service it would have its own entitlements and container. But… if the program is launched from a Terminal window or by launchd (e.g., scheduled to run at midnight), what then? Does it run like a normal UNIX program with no sandboxing? What if this UNIX helper app is copied to a different directory? Does Apple forbid a program from MAS that can be launched this way or if the developer induces its users to run it this way?
