This statement about privacy of folders is even more ridiculous, that any
.dll plugin of VLC has access to all of those.
And plugins can be automatically loaded, with the right score. While, by
default extensions are not loaded.
And we do not sign .dlls.

Compiling a VLC plugin.dll is quite simple and the audit of C code is
harder than a lua one.
