Description
If you set the file permissions to 777 (FTP/Server) and if you have the wrong user (www-/ftp-run issue) the site health info shows all files as writable.
In my opinion this is "not true/false" and sets a wrong signal for the users.
It is not possible for me to reproduce this because I do not have this server environment at the moment. I refer to https://de.wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-installations-fehler/#post-88589 [this thread in the support forum] and trust here completely in the long lasting experience of @pixolin.

Are the file-permission errors related to specific files (it looks that way from the associated forum post, but my German is not great, so I don't trust it fully).
If that is the case, then that would be a possible explanation for the different reports, as the Site Health only checks directory-permissions (where WordPress' own
wp_is_writableis used, so if the whole folder is incorrectly being reported as writable, we may need to dig a bit deeper there, but I would like to have confirmation about what content is giving issues first before we go down that route).
