> Is there any application forced sandboxing feature yet?

Yes it's been there for a while. But like flatpak and all other attempts to sandbox applications they tend to ask for coarse permissions like Home Directory and once you give that, it can read everything important.




It shouldn't matter what permissions an application asks for. It is up to the user to decide to grant the app access to a system, or to a mock system.

The "sandboxing" model of flatpack and the like is completely backwards. I'd even say it's user-hostile.
