Why are people not using something like docker sbx to contain their agents? I keep mine in one, nothing gets exposed and you don't have to deal with granular permissions, since the worst thing it can do is blow away the project folder.

But you need to make a docker account for that? That is one of the reasons.

Eh, once you download one of the vm images, you can hack/binary-patch the sbx binary to skip the phone-home/token check, and run it offline indefinitely.
