I think that's what we need. An app with a "firewall" for every security or privacy critical operation that prompts the user when it has to. We can have that for the browser with e.g. uMatrix or uBlock origin and other extensions, or LittleSnitch on MacOS but it should be handled at the system (call) (kernel?) level I guess. The user can then set up the rules he wants to so he doesn't always get prompted. And for non technical users there have to be sensible defaults already in place. An example of not so sensible defaults are the default permissions of many flatpak apps. And for privacy we need granular control, like on Android with something like XPrivacyLua. But it does pose some challenges, for example it makes it easy to just spoof your location and so on for an app. Personally I do think that the user has the right to do that though.
