Windows 10 (desktop, tablet, mobile, all flavors) needs fine-grained permissions that can be granted and revoked in a similar manner. Even traditional desktop apps need to have similar sandboxing features.

But on Windows, stuff like the "Install->Next->Next->Next->Next->I agree->Next->Waaait for it->Next->Finish" dance has conditioned everyone but the security zealots to click "Yes" without even reading the dialog box. I've seen people with twitch-gamer like reflexes for accepting Windows prompts.
