The extensions can do this. E.g. a Strava extension would on install say it has access to *.strava.com (and possibly other domains).

that's hardly practical, the point of most extensions is that they stay with you as you browse the web to enhance the functionality of websites. a coupon tracker like honey that only works on amazon.com would obviously be superceded by a coupon tracker that worked everywhere on the web. users would just keep adding permissions to access websites until the whole thing became an exercise in frustration
