And after that I have a question about the APX steam

How did you fix this? Because I have the same problem

Apparently I can just "Take Ownership" from Gnome Disks. However, the partitions now can't be accessed from live usb.

That is a pretty unfixable problem sadly.
The files in any Linux filesystem (so most apart from ntfs, fat32 and so on) have an owner.
The ID of your vanilla user (most likely 1001) is different from the one in the live USB (most likely 1000). So the files will always have a different owner.

The default UID is now 1000 for the first user on Vanilla as well because of:

But this can't be fixed on existing installations.

You can in theory use bind mounts to map the user ID but I can't give you a working example of that right now.

Can't I just make the partitions accessible for anyone?

The problem is not the partition.
Every single file has an owner, so every single file could in theory have a different owner.

So to fix the permissions you have to change the owner for every file, which the "Take Ownership" option in Disks does.
