I think you can already see the issue with that proposition in terms of Google's attempts to prevent ad-blocking in MV3. Google went so far as to design a brand new protocol for handling web requests in such a way as to make it difficult or impossible to do proper blocking. They "Reworded" the capability. If we assume that the "owner" of this list of capabilities is the same party that's writing the software, you better believe they don't (or won't eventually) have the user's needs in mind. Enshittification makes a fool of us all.

We've seen this elsewhere. "Security" becomes not about protecting the user's data from malicious operators, but protecting the manufacturer's data from the user. If we do agree a standard it'll need to be about actually protecting the user, but implemented by manufacturers who have no incentive to actually do that, and lots of incentive to protect their data, sorry, business model.
