No, that requires explicit changes by programs to use meaning that malware can ignore it and steal your browser's cookies and take secret photos with your webcam.
So the capability-based security framework is not missing unlike your original statement?
My original statement is about how users have to explicitly give programs access to the files and the webcam before they can use them. This is missing.
