Private & app-specific directory - permissions

And again my “beloved” - apparently never ending - topic “permissions”:

When I save a text in the private or in the app-specific directory (ASD), WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissison is requested in both cases. If I deny, none of the text files are saved / created.

No permissions (READ / WRITE) should be required for these (private) directories. Under Android 10 and especially under Android 11, the ASD is of outstanding importance (→ scoped storage).

@Kodular Therefore, remove the permissions for these directories from the File component and all other components that can read / write from / to these directories.
