Microsoft is trying to do that with msix and a new filesystem driver that transparently restricts file system access to app. Should land into Windows 11 this year. See https://youtu.be/8T6ClX-y2AE for the functionality explaination.

The msix story is really weird/incomplete so far. Let me just leave it at: creating services is part of msix on windows 11, but not windows server. Maybe it will be more then a toy in a few years, but we'll still have to wait for old server versions to get replaced.
