Protected folders has existed for a while, in practical terms is almost useless, because you can’t create groups of protected folders for different type of applications, thus protecting too many folders will have consequence of you need to allow almost every application you regularly use.

Therefore protected folders works best if either a) you only use a very limited set of approved applications, which of course is rarely the case if you are skilled enough to know what protected folders are, or b) you only protect one folder with text documents that you only read in notepad, but if you have that case it is better to put them in a encrypted storage.
